Instructions

Step 1

Cook the spinach in a large saucepan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain well. Transfer to a food processor or blender and blend to a smooth purée.

Step 2

Heat the butter in a large wok or frying pan, add the cumin seeds, red chilli and onion and stir-fry over a medium-low heat for 6-8 minutes until the onions have softened. Add the tomatoes, garlic, ginger, chilli powder and ground coriander and season well. Stir through and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Increase the heat to high, add the paneer and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, then add the spinach purée and stir-fry for a further 4-5 minutes until well mixed and heated through.

Step 4

Remove from the heat and stir in the cream, lemon juice and chopped coriander. Spoon into warm bowls and serve with warm flatbreads, if liked.
