Paneer & Cashew Curry
Paneer and cashew curry with wild rice flavoured with cardamom, coconut chutney, mango chutney and a turmeric-flavoured egg.
Rebecca is 56, from Lincoln, has been a pescatarian since she was a teenager, and dreams of owning a small independent cafe. The dish is a nod to her late mother who used to add an egg to her curries.
Rebecca: "I'm doing a paneer curry with an egg. It's a nod to my mom. She was famed for her curries and she used to always add an egg to her curries. But I've elevated it slightly. I'm going to be doing chuck and all sorts of little flavour bombs in there for you both."
Anna: "She's got fenugreek going in there, turmeric, coconut milk, nigella seeds. It doesn't sound like there's a lot of chili or heat going into it, so I hope it's not too mild."
Grace: "The curry, really nice flavours of paneer, but the actual sauce itself is lacking seasoning. It just needs more oomph. The egg, because it's sat in the middle almost like a visiting dignitary, it's not really adding anything to the dish."
Anna: "Your rice is nicely cooked and there is nice notes of green cardamom. The paneer and cashew curry, I think it just needs a bit more heat and a bit more seasoning."
