Before you jump to Paneer Masala recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Use Food to Improve Your Mood.
A lot of us have been trained to think that comfort foods are terrible and must be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is a high sugar food or another junk food, this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be really nutritious and good for you. There are a number of foods that basically can improve your moods when you eat them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all wonderful for improving your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that tells your brain how you feel all the time. The more serotonin in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not just that but nuts, in particular, are a terrific protein food source.
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try some of these instead!

Instructions to make Paneer Masala:
- To get the planner nice and soft I like to soak it before cooking in warm water for about an hour before cooking. I put my crushed garlic in the pan with heated ghee. My garlic is green yes! I tend to peel and crush a huge jar of garlic and add white vinegar to it and it preserves it in the fridge and I use this for cooking! Do a new one each month. Anyway after garlic is browning, add the chopped onion and fry for about 2-3 mins.
- Add all the spices and salt apart from the mustard seeds (add these at the end!) brown off the onions and garlic a little more and the smell of all the spices should be wonderful. Add a 1⁄4 cup of water after 2-3 minutes and keep simmering on a low heat.
- Remove the paneer from the water and place on kitchen paper. Then take from kitchen paper and add to the pan. Cook the paneer and stir around with the spices for 6-8 minutes. Once you are satisfied that the paneer has browned add one tin of chopped tomatoes. Cook covered for 5 minutes. Now remove lid and add the coconut milk and salt. Stir and cover and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
- In a separate pan after 20 minutes add tiny bit of ghee and the teaspoon of mustard seeds. Cook on high heat covered until they pop - this will be around 20 seconds. Pour on top to the paneer and stir into the sauce. You can garnish with coriander and we served with brown rice. Yum!
Add ginger garlic paste, coriandar powder, Garam masala and red chili powder and give a mix. Add bay leaf, curry paste and saute for another minute (medium flame). Now add the turmeric, salt, chili powder, cardamom powder, clove powder and saute. Meanwhile, heat the rest of the oil in a nonstick frying pan and fry the paneer cubes in batches until golden on all sides. Remove to a plate as they are ready.
