Cooking Steps

Cube the paneer cheese
1

To prepare the ingredients, rinse the brown rice well. Cube the paneer cheese. Thinly slice the brown onion and finely chop the birdseye chilli (deseeded). Peel and grate the ginger. Wash the baby spinach. Pick the coriander leaves for garnish.

2

In a small bowl combine the mild curry powder and half of the olive oil to form a paste.

3

lace the brown rice and the water into a medium pot and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer, covered, for 25-30 minutes or until the rice is soft and the water is absorbed.

Cook the paneer cheese
4

Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a deep frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the paneer cheese and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate.

Cook the mixture
5

In the same pan, heat a dash of oil over a medium-high heat. Add the brown onion and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until soft. Add the ginger and birdseye chilli. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Combine the vegetable stock cube, hot water and tomato paste. Add to the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

Return the paneer cheese to the pan
6

Return the paneer cheese to the pan with the baby spinach. Simmer for 1-2 minutes or until the spinach is wilted and the paneer is heated through. Stir through half of the Greek yoghurt.

7

Serve the curry with the brown rice, a dollop of the remaining Greek yoghurt and the coriander.
