1. Cook the rice
Place rice in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse.
2. Prepare the ingredients
Rinse and finely chop spinach (see notes). Set aside. Dice tomatoes and coriander. Toss together and set aside.
3. Cook the paneer
Heat a frypan over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp oil. Dice paneer and add to pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes turning until golden. Remove and set aside.
4. Sauté the vegetables
Slice onion and dice capsicum. Add to pan as you go along with 2 tbsp oil. Peel and grate in ginger. Stir in 3 tsp garam masala and 1 tsp cumin. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.
5. Finish the curry
Add spinach to pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly wilted. Return paneer and stir through. Take off heat, stir in yoghurt and 1/2 cup water. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Finish and plate
Divide rice and curry among bowls. Top with diced tomato and coriander.
Notes
Rinse the spinach by soaking in a large bowl or sink of water. You can also finely chop the spinach using a food processor if preferred. Take the pan off heat before stirring the yoghurt through so that it doesn’t curdle.
