Cooking Steps

BAKE THE VEGGIES
1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the sweet potato (unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) into half-moons. Place the sweet potato, carrot, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Toss to coat, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Cut the veggies to the correct size so they cook in the allocated time!

Cook rice
2

While the veggies are roasting, add the water (for the rice) to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

3

While the rice is cooking, finely chop the brown onion. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the coriander. Cut the paneer into 1cm cubes and season with salt. Slice the lime (see ingredients list) into wedges.

START THE CURRY
4

In a medium frying pan, heat a good drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the paneer, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towel. Wipe out the frying pan and return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the onion and cook until softened, 4 minutes. Add the garlic and mild North Indian spice blend (see ingredients list) and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

finish the curry
5

Add the coconut milk, water (for the curry) and the salt to the frying pan. Bring to the boil, then simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 8-10 minutes. Add the baby spinach leaves, roasted veggies and the paneer. Stir until the spinach has wilted. Season with pepper to taste.

serve
6

Divide the basmati rice and sweet potato, spinach and paneer curry between bowls. Top with the coriander and crushed peanuts and squeeze over the lime.
