Method

  1. 1

    Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.

  2. 2

    Fry the paneer in the oil over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes until golden, then set aside.

  3. 3

    Fry the crushed garlic and curry powder in the same pan for 1 minute, then add the spinach and cook until wilted.

  4. 4

    Blend or roughly mash the spinach mixture, stir in the cream, then return the paneer to the pan and warm through.

  5. 5

    Season to taste, then serve over the rice.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 75 g paneer and 50 g baby spinach. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
