Why This Recipe Works

A stunning interplay of savory paneer and tropical mango tied together with a zesty ginger-lime dressing. Semi-ripe mangoes provide the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity for this substantial salad.


Instructions

1

Soften the shallots in hot oil until they lose their bite, then add the paneer cubes and fry for about 4 minutes until they are golden and crunchy.

2

Stir in the tamarind paste and a good pinch of salt, cooking for another minute until the paneer is glazed, then remove from the heat to cool slightly.

3

Peel the mangoes and slice the flesh into thin wedges, then toss them into a large bowl with the salad leaves, mint, and cilantro.

4

Bash the green chile and ginger in a mortar until they form a smooth paste, then whisk with the lime juice, honey, remaining oil, and salt to create a punchy dressing.

5

Fold the warm, glazed paneer and the dressing into the mango and greens just before you are ready to eat to keep the leaves crisp.
