GREEN SAAG PANEER

1. Place rice in a saucepan, cover with x 1.5 amount of water. Cover with a lid, cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat, stand for 5 minutes.

2. Dice paneer cheese into 1.5cm cubes. Peel and chop onion, crush garlic, grate ginger. Rinse and roughly chop spinach and kale.

3. Heat butter and oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook paneer for 2-3 minutes, or until golden, set aside on a plate. Add more oil to pan if needed, cook onion, garlic and ginger until soft. Add spices, sauté for 5 minutes, or until golden. Add spinach and kale, season with salt.
