  • 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).

  • Meanwhile, cut the paneer into 2cm cubes.
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Thinly slice the chilli widthways at an angle.

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

Heat a pan (preferably non stick) on 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 the paneer is golden, transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
