Cooking Steps
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel). Pop them onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle over half the turmeric.
Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, cut the paneer into 2cm chunks. Halve the baby plum tomatoes.
Heat the olive oil (see pantry for amount) in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the paneer to the pan. Fry until golden all over, 5-8 mins. Turn regulary to brown them evenly.
Stir the ginger puree, North Indian style spice mix and remaining turmeric into the pan until the paneer is well coated.
Add the tomatoes and cook for 30 secs, then stir in the veg stock paste and water for the curry (see pantry for amount).
Bring to the boil, stirring to combine, then lower the heat to a simmer.
Stir the spinach in a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Stir through the mango chutney, drizzle over the yoghurt, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
When everything is ready, share the turmeric potatoes between your bowls and top with the saag paneer.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: A well-spiced, flavourful curry that many find as satisfying as a takeaway; the tomatoes and mango chutney add a pleasant sweet-and-savoury balance.
- Ease of prep: Straightforward to follow and quick to put together, making it a reliable mid-week option.
- Suggestions: Fry the paneer longer than suggested for a better golden crust, or coat it in cornflour before cooking for a crispier finish. Reduce the water slightly if you prefer a thicker sauce, and add fresh chilli for extra heat. When adding ginger paste to the pan, let the heat drop first to avoid spitting oil. Consider serving with rice or naan if you prefer a more traditional accompaniment to the curry.
- Next-day meals: Leftovers keep well and the flavours develop nicely, making it a great option for lunch the next day.
- Portions: Some found the portion on the smaller side, particularly without a side dish to bulk it out; adding extra vegetables such as peas can help.
