Instructions

  • Heat 1 tbsp of Olive oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat. Add 1 Red onion and a pinch of salt and cook until softened - about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add 200 g of Paneer, 1 Green bell pepper, 1 Red bell pepper and wedges of 2 Tomatoes. Cook for a further 5-6 minutes until the paneer has started to turn golden. Stir regularly.
  • Meanwhile dissolve 1 Vegetable stock cube in 200 ml of boiling water and add the 30 g of Tomato puree and 1 pinch of Sugar. This is your tomato stock.
  • Add 3 Garlic clove, 15 g of Fresh ginger, 2 tbsp of Curry powder, 1 tsp of Cumin and 0.5 tsp of Red chilli flakes to the paneer and vegetables. Stir well.
  • Add 2 tbsp of Mango chutney and tomato stock. Mix well and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Mix in 5 g of Fresh coriander (cilantro) and stir.
  • Finally, add 60 g of Spinach. Cook until the spinach has wilted.

Notes

  • Add a little crunch to this curry by serving with some cashew nuts on top.
  • You can give this an extra protein boost by adding some quick cook lentils at the same time as the stock.
  • An easy way to add a little extra flavour, texture and creaminess is by adding a spoonful of peanut butter (or almond or cashew).
