Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Cut the paneer into 1cm cubes. Cut the tomatoes into 1cm chunks.

Trim the baby cucumber, then cut into small 1cm pieces.

Pick the mint leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks).

Cut the lemon into wedges.

Make the Kachumber Salad
2

In a medium bowl, mix the cucumber, tomatoes and half the mint. Drizzle with oil, squeeze in some lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

Set your kachumber salad aside.

Mix the Houmous
3

Heat the oil for cooking (see pantry for amount) in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the paneer to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Fry until golden all over, 5-8 mins. Turn regularly to brown them evenly. 

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the houmous, curry powder mix and honey (see pantry for amount). Set the curried houmous aside. 

Glaze the Paneer
4

Once the paneer is golden, mix in the tandoori masala mix and cook for 30 secs more.

Next, stir in the mango chutney and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount).

Stir together, ensuring the paneer is well glazed. Cook for 1 min, then remove from the heat. 

Heat the Rice
5

Next, cook the rice according to pack instructions.

Meanwhile, crush the cashews in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

Once heated, mix the remaining mint through the rice

Serve
6

Share the rice between your bowls. 

Top with the sticky tandoori spiced paneer and kachumber salad. Dollop on the curried houmous.

Garnish with the cashews and serve any remaining lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.
