Cooking Steps
• In a medium saucepan, add the water (for the rice) and bring to the boil. • Add basmati rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat. • Keep covered, until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 12 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• While the rice is cooking, cut paneer into small bite-sized chunks. • Roughly chop brown onion. Trim and roughly chop baby broccoli. Finely chop garlic.
• In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion and capsicum, tossing, until golden, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste, Mumbai spice blend, mild North Indian spice blend (see ingredients) and the honey and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in thickened cream, paneer, baby broccoli and the water (for the sauce). Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, until thickened and veggies are tender, 4-5 minutes. Remove pan from heat, then stir in the butter, a pinch of pepper and baby spinach leaves, until spinach is just wilted, 1 minute.
• Roughly chop roasted almonds. Divide basmati rice between bowls. Top with paneer masala. • Garnish with almonds. Tear over coriander leaves to serve. Enjoy!
