Method for paste:

To make the spread start by cooking up the onions in a frying pan until translucent. Once at this stage add the sugar and caramelize for 3-5 minutes. Once caramelised add the spices and stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.

Once the onions are cooked leave to cool before putting in a food processor with the cashew nuts and curry paste. Blitz until the paste is smooth.

Method for Naan:

To begin with put all the ingredients for the Naan in a mixing bowl and mix well until it makes a dough.

Split the mixture in two or four and flatten using your hand, until a naan shape.

Heat the frying pan with some butter and oil and place one Naan at a time in the frying pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side.

Once cooked place on a pizza tray/ oven tray. Spread the paste over the naan then scatter the paneer, onion, mango chutney and tomatoes and place in the oven for 15 minutes at 180C.

Once taken out of the oven, drizzle the yoghurt dressing and scatter the coriander for garnish.
