Cooking Steps

Cut the paneer
1

Prep: Bring 11/3 cups salted water (double for 4 people) in a medium pot to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Cut the paneer into 1/2-inch cubes. Roughly chop the cilantro. Peel, then mince 1 tbsp ginger (double for 4 people.)

2

Cook the rice: Add rice to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a lid, and cook until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed, 10-12 min.

3

Toast the spices: Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the spice blend and as much chili flakes as you like, to the dry pan. Toast until just golden and fragrant, 1-3 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a small bowl.

Sear the paneer
4

Sear the paneer: Add a drizzle of oil to the same pan. Add the paneer cubes. Cook until golden all over, about 1 min per side. Transfer to a plate.

Make the sauce
5

Make the saag paneer: Add another drizzle of oil in the same pan, then the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 min. Add the ginger, tomato paste and spice blend. Cook, stirring, for 1 min. Add the broth concentrate(s) and 3/4 cups water (double for 4 people.) Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, 5-7 min.

Add the paneer
6

Add the seared paneer and spinach to the sauce. Stir, breaking up the spinach with a spoon, until warmed through, 2-3 min. Remove the pan from the heat for 2 min, then stir in half the Greek yogurt. (TIP: If you stir in the yogurt when it's too hot, it may not combine with the curry!)

7

Finish and serve: Serve the curry over the rice, and top with the remaining Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of cilantro. Enjoy!
