Quick paneer and chickpea curry

Step 1

Heat the 1 tbsp oil in a large lidded frying pan over a high heat. Add the paneer and fry for about 5 minutes until golden on all sides. Remove the paneer from the pan using a slotted spoon and put on a plate lined with kitchen paper.

Step 2

Add the extra teaspoon of oil to the same pan, then fry the onion, garlic and ginger until the onion has softened. Add the curry paste and cook for a few more minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, chickpeas and spinach, then cook over a low-medium heat for 10 minutes with the lid on, stirring occasionally, until the spinach has thawed and the curry is warmed through.

Step 3

Turn the heat down, then stir in the paneer, lemon juice and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Serve with steamed basmati rice and a dollop of yogurt on top.
