Paneer and Sweet Potato Curry (v)

with Brown Rice & Quinoa

Served with nutty brown rice and quinoa, lots of fresh lime juice and chopped fresh coriander, our 20-minute paneer and sweet potato curry is a great mid-week vegetarian recipe. Paneer is a fresh, mild and dense cheese that doesn’t melt, so it’s a great thing to pair with the bold flavours in this dish. It is a popular ingredient across India and much of Southern Asia, and provides bulk and protein to veggie curries like this one.

The quantities provided above are averages only.

Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
