Paneer is a fresh Indian cheese that stays firm when heated. Vindaloo comes from Goa in western India, inspired by a Portuguese dish of a similar-sounding name. In Britain it’s famous for being ridiculously spicy, but our version is nicely mild, with earthy urfa biber chiles, tempered by the sweetness of coconut rice.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Cook the rice

In a pot, combine the rice with 1½ cups salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the coconut milk, re-cover, and let stand until ready to serve. While the rice cooks, prepare the vindaloo.

Prep the vindaloo ingredients

Remove the stems from the okra; cut the pods in half on a bias.
Peel and thinly slice the shallots.
Finely chop enough garlic to measure 1½ teaspoons.
Core and cut the tomatoes into 1-inch pieces.

Cook the okra

In a pan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the okra, shallots, garlic, vindaloo curry powder, and as much urfa biber as you like. Season with salt and cook, stirring a few times, until fragrant and the okra is beginning to brown, 5 to 6 minutes. While the okra cooks, prep the paneer.

Prep the paneer; finish the vindaloo

Cut the paneer into ½-inch cubes.
Cut the lime into wedges.

Stir the tomato paste into the okra mixture and cook until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the tomatoes begin to soften and the okra is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Fold in the paneer, season to taste with salt, and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened and the paneer is warmed through, 4 to 5 minutes.

Serve

Transfer the vindaloo to serving bowls and serve with the rice. Garnish with cashews and serve with the lime wedges on the side.
