A bright, fresh salad topped with flavoursome tandoori paneer and roasted pumpkin. A protein-dense dish packed with spices that are antioxidant-rich and promote healthy digestion.
1. Set oven to 220ºC.
Peel and grate ginger and combine with lemon juice, 1/4 cup oil, 1/2 tbsp turmeric, 1 1/2 tbsp garam masala, 2 tbsp tomato paste, salt and pepper in a bowl.
2. Slice onion and dice paneer. Add to marinade along with pumpkin. Toss to coat. Roast on a lined oven tray for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
3. Slice cucumber into rounds. Halve cherry tomatoes and chop coriander (reserve some for garnish). Toss together with mesclun leaves.
4. Whisk together 1 tbsp vinegar and 2 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss dressing through fresh salad.
5. Divide salad between plates. Top with paneer mix and garnish with reserved coriander.
Notes:
This dish is also nice with a dollop of yoghurt to serve!
