Method

STEP 1
Whizz the paste ingredients together in a small food processor (use a splash of water if you need to help it along). Fry the paneer cubes in 1 or 2 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan until golden. Scoop out and drain on kitchen paper, then add the paste to the pan and fry for a couple of minutes. Add the spices and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk and paneer and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Season and serve with rice and warmed naans.
