Ingredients

• 220 g Paneer
• 1/2 tsp Tumeric
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Mild chilli powder
• 1 tbsp Oil
• 2 Onions (Peeled and finely chopped)
• 4 Garlic cloves (Peeled and crushed)
• 1 Green chilli (Finely chopped)
• 1 Ginger (Peeled and grated)
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 600 g Frozen chopped spinach
• 200 g Frozen peas
• 1 tsp Garam masala

Method

1. Cut the paneer into bite-sized chunks. Place in a sandwich bag or Tupperware container with the turmeric, salt and chilli powder. Shake well to coat.
2. Heat the oil in a hot frying pan and fry the paneer chunks in batches until browned on each side, gently turning them over and adding more spray when needed. Transfer them to a bowl as they are cooked.
3. In the same pan, add the onions, garlic, chilli, ginger, cumin, coriander and fry until soft and golden brown.
4. Add the spinach and cook for 6-7 minutes until cooked through. Blend in the pan so that the spinach and onion mixture becomes a smooth sauce. (Add some water if you'd like it to be thinner.)
5. Add in the fried paneer, peas and garam masala and cook through on a low heat for 10-15 minutes. Add salt to taste.
