Instructions

Cook the Ginger Rice
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Heat half the oil for cookingl in a deep saucepan with a tight-fitting lid on medium heat.

Once hot, add the ginger puree and season with salt. Stir-fry until fragrant, 1-2 mins.

Add the rice and cook until coated, 1 min, then pour in the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.

Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

Get Prepped
2

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Cut the paneer into 2cm cubes.

Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).

Fry the Paneer
3

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

Once hot, add the paneer and fry until golden all over, 5-8 mins. Season with salt and pepper. Turn regularly to brown it evenly.

Once the paneer is golden, transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.

Curry Up
4

Wipe out the frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Add the tomato puree, North Indian style spice mix and half the garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant, 1-2 mins. 

Add the vegetable stock paste, creme fraiche, peas, water for the sauce and sugar (see pantry for both amounts). Stir to combine, then simmer until the sauce has thickened, 2-3 mins. 

Finishing Touches
5

Meanwhile, put the naans onto a baking tray. Sprinkle over the remaining garlic and drizzle over some oil. Sprinkle with a little water and pop them into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

Once the curry has thickened, stir the butter (see pantry for amount) into your curry sauce until melted.

Add the spinach a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Stir the cooked paneer through the sauce, then remove from the heat. 

Time to Serve
6

Fluff up the ginger rice with a fork and share between your bowls, then spoon over your ultimate matar saag paneer curry.

Sprinkle over the coriander and flaked almonds to finish.

Serve with the garlic naans on the side.
