Cooking Steps

Cook the Rice
1
  • Rinse the rice to remove excess starch. Pour 300ml cold salted water (per 2P) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
  • Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and cover with the lid.
  • Cook for 10 mins, then remove the pot from the heat.
  • Keep covered for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Get Prepped
2
  • Meanwhile, chop the paneer into 2cm cubes.
  • Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces.
  • Thinly slice the chilli widthways at an angle.

TIP: If you haven't got a blender, you'll also need to finely chop the spinach.

Fry the Cheese
3
  • Place a pan (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil
  • Once hot, add the paneer to the pan, season with salt and pepper.
  • Fry until golden all over, 5-8 mins. Turn regularly to brown it evenly.
  • Once golden, transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
Ready, Set, Blend
4
  • While the paneer cooks, blend the spinachstock and coconut milk to make a puree.
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat with another drizzle of oil
  • When hot, fry the shallot until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins. Season well with salt and pepper
  • Lower the heat to medium-high then add the North Indian spice mix.
  • Fry until fragrant, 1-2 mins.
Simmer the Sauce
5
  • Add the paneer, spinach puree and rogan josh paste to the pan and mix well to coat the veg. 
  • Cover and simmer for 4-5 mins. Loosen with a splash of water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the peas and simmer until everything is warmed through, 2-3 mins. 
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if required.
Garnish and Serve
6
  • Fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between bowls.
  • Top with the spinach curry.
  • Garnish with the sliced chilli (use less if you don't like spice).
