Paneer and Spinach Curry

This is a new recipe that I have tried a few times, switching out some of the ingredients each time. One of my favourite swaps is to swap the paneer to halloumi, a much saltier cheese.

Serves:
4

Cooking Time:
45 minutes

Categories:
Vegetarian, Easy


Ingredients

  • 300g of paneer cheese
  • 4 large tomatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 2 sweet peppers
  • 200g spinach
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • Spring onions
  • Turmeric
  • Mild curry powder
  • Single cream or coconut cream

Process

  1. Warm a tbsp of oil to a non stick pan on a medium heat. Cut the paneer into small cubes, add to the pan and fry on each side for around 3 minutes until brown. Take the cubes out of the pan and set them aside.
  2. Chop the onion and garlic finely and add to the pan with a little oil.
  3. Slice the tomatoes and peppers into chunks of a similar size to the paneer and add to the pan alongside the turmeric and curry powder. Cook for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a little water if required.
  4. Add the spinach with around 100ml of water.
  5. Add the paneer back into the pot and turn the hob down to a low heat before adding the single cream.
  6. Gently stir until the sauce combines.
  7. Serve with boiled rice and sliced spring onion for garnish.
