Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil
- 220g pack paneer, cut into 1.5cm slices
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- Thumb-size piece ginger, grated
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp turmeric

- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 250g spinach
- 250g basmati rice
- 600ml vegetable stock

Method
- Heat the oil in a large, lidded, non-stick frying pan or shallow casserole over a medium heat. Add the paneer and fry for 2-3 minutes until a deep golden brown. Set aside. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and fry for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric, garam masala and chilli flakes, then cook for 1 minute.

Easy swaps: Find paneer in the chilled aisle of larger supermarkets, or use halloumi instead (it’ll be saltier so watch the seasoning).
