    • Cook:
  • Easy
  • Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 225g block of paneer, cut into 2cm cubes
  • 1 large onion, roughly chopped
  • thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled
  • 2 large garlic cloves
  • 5 tbsp korma paste
  • 3 cardamom pods, crushed
  • 70g ground almonds
  • 500ml vegetable stock
  • 150g spinach
  • 100g Greek yogurt
  • rice or naan breads, to serve (optional)

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a deep frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the paneer cubes and fry for 5 mins, turning regularly, so each side is golden brown. Remove with tongs and put on a plate lined with kitchen paper.

  • STEP 2

    Put the onion, ginger and garlic in a food processor with a splash of water and blitz until completely smooth. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion mixture and a pinch of salt, and fry for 10 mins or until lightly golden. Add the korma paste and cardamom, and fry for 1 min. Stir in the ground almonds and fry for 1 min to make a thick paste.

  • STEP 3

    Add the stock, bring to a simmer and cook for 5-10 mins, uncovered, or until reduced a little. Add the spinach to the sauce and cook for 5 mins. Stir through the yogurt and paneer, and season generously. Serve with rice or warm naan breads.
