Instructions

Step 1

Heat the oil in a saucepan or large, lidded frying pan over a medium heat. Once hot, fry the paneer for two minutes on each side, or until the cubes are coloured. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 2

Add the onions with a pinch of salt and gently fry until golden-brown. Once golden, add the garlic, chilli flakes, curry powder and two tablespoons of water. Gently fry for a further two minutes over a low heat. Stir in the potato.

Step 3

Pour in the tomatoes and the stock, bring to a simmer, cover with a lid and simmer gently for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are completely soft and the sauce has thickened.

Step 4

Meanwhile, cook the rice according to packet instructions.

Step 5

Add the paneer to the curry and stir through, making sure it is well coated in sauce. Heat through for 3-4 minutes then serve with the rice.
