You need

1-2 green chillies chopped up
1 teaspoon vege stock powder or 1 cube of vege stock
2 garlic cloves chopped
2 cups frozen corn kernels

1 tin trim milk
 
In a little bit of olive oil put the onions garlic carrots all together and sautee them, then add green chillies and corn...sweat them off for a while then add the coconut milk and trim milk bring to a simmer and add the stock.  Add salt to taste and keep simmering until all veges are softened and fully cooked.
 
then put everything into a blender and blend till smooth.
 
Put back on the heat add a little bit of pepper and then add a small pinch of freshly chopped corriander before serving.
 
It's soo yummy and the trim milk and lite coconut milk actually make it quite healthy.

Butter Paneer

Ingredients:

Paneer marinade:
~500g Paneer
1tsp Ginger garlic paste
2tsp Tandoori masala (or garam masala if u have that)
1tsp chilli powder
3tbsp yoghurt

Gravy ingredients:
1-2 Onions (sliced finely)
2tbsp tomato paste (this is a must, makes a big difference.. worse case you can just use puree)
1tsp ginger garlic paste
1tsp garam masala
some chilli powder
~500mLs heavy cream. If you need even more gravy, you can add more cream or half n half (to feel better)

Method:
Add all the marinade ingredients together and set aside for about an hour
At the end of an hour, either bake it at 350F/180C for about 30min or just shallow fry in a pan with a bit of butter.

For the gravy, fry the onions with the ginger garlic paste until translucent.
Add salt, chilli & garam masala and continue frying until almost golden.
Add the tomato paste/puree and fry until it doesn smell 'raw' anymore
Finally, add half of the cream and heat through (try not to let it boil)
Add the baked/friend paneer and the rest of the cream. Mix and heat through.

For a finishing touch, if u have it, you could fry a bit of dry methi leaves in a bit of butter n add it at the very end.. Gives a very nice touch of flavour.. Also, if u want, u could also add some almond slices/slivers before adding the cream for a nutty bite..
