From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

1½ tbsp light-flavoured oil
200g paneer cheese, cut into cubes
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3cm piece of ginger, peeled and grated
2 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chilli powder
300ml tinned chopped tomatoes
100g frozen peas, defrosted
Squeeze of lemon
Handful coriander leaves
Steamed white or brown rice, to serve
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the paneer until golden-brown on all sides. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add the remaining oil to the pan and fry the onion for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic, ginger and spices and fry for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
Tip in the tinned tomatoes, stir to coat in the spices then bubble for 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir in the peas and fried paneer and simmer for a further 3 to 4 minutes, adding a little water to the pan if it's getting too dry. Add a squeeze of lemon, top with coriander and serve with steamed rice.
