Paneer, Spinach and Chickpea Korma

Serves 4-6 Prep Time 10 minutes   Cook Time 18 minutes   Rated:

This recipe first appeared in my Currying Flavour cooking class. I am not sure, it could now be in The Convenient Vegetarian cookbook, but I don’t think so. If you have never made Paneer, this is your chance. It is so simple. Basically the same thing as Queso Fresco, just pressed a little so that the whey comes out. The homemade version of Paneer is really fragile, you should be very careful with it. I like to leave it underneath the curry sauce so that it takes on all the flavours of the korma. In fact, I think this recipe improves over a couple of days, but we rarely get that opportunity in this hungry house!

Hope you enjoy!

This curry benefits from time after cooking for flavours to meld together. Consider cooking it a day ahead. Or at least save some leftovers for an awesome lunch!!
