8 ounces (1 recipe) Paneer Cheese or store-bought
1 cup (1/2 recipe) Tart Apple Ginger-Chutney with Green Tomatoes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, including soft stems
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1. Prepare the paneer cheese and crumble it coarsely. Prepare the chutney. Heat the oil in a medium non-stick wok or skillet over medium high heat and cook the onion, stirring, until lightly brown, about 10 minutes. Add the paneer cheese and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Then mix in the chutney and cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the coriander and salt, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the paneer is barely golden, about 7 minutes. Mix in the cilantro, transfer to a serving dish, season with black pepper, and serve.

VARIATION: Add finely diced or grated tart apples along with some minced ginger and lemon juice instead of the chutney in Step 3. Unripe peaches, plums, and nectarine also work well.
