1

Put a little bit of oil in a deep, heavy bottomed frying pan and brown the cheese, turning frequently so no sides burn. When it is browned, set aside on a plate. 

2

Add more oil, if needed, to the pan and throw in the onions. 

3

Let them fry until golden, then add the garlic and spices. 

4

Fry some more for a couple minutes, then add the tin of tomatoes and about 1/2 cup of water. 

5

Let simmer for about five minutes, then put in the fried cheese and peas and simmer covered over a low heat for about 20 minutes. 

6

Check the consistency and simmer some more if needed to bring it down to a thickness you like. 

7

Serve with rice and other Indian curries of your choice.
