Snoek with atchar

35 minutes

Paneer with spinach-yoghurt sauce

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 T olive oil
1 onion, sliced
1 T mustard seeds
2 t cumin seeds
1 x 5 cm ginger piece, peeled and grated
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 t Woolworths medium curry powder or garam masala
6 Woolworths slicing tomatoes, quartered
600 g baby spinach
1 lemon
¾– 1 cup plain yoghurt
200 g Woolworths paneer cheese, torn into chunks
3 T canola or sunflower oil
Woolworths tortilla wraps, lightly charred, for serving

Method

1. Gently pan-fry the onion in the olive oil until soft and translucent. Add the spices and fry for 3–5 minutes, or until fragrant and the mustard seeds start popping.

2. Add the ginger, garlic, curry powder and tomatoes and increase the heat slightly to sizzle. Add 1–2 T water to release the flavours from the pan.

3. Fold through the baby spinach in batches until completely wilted, cooking for about 2 minutes.

4. Squeeze in the lemon, then fold in the yoghurt until you reach the desired consistency. Cook for 30 seconds, then remove from the heat.

5. Pan-fry the paneer in the oil until dark golden and crunchy and drain on kitchen paper. Serve the paneer and yoghurt sauce with the wraps.

Cook's note: I can easily go through a bag of baby spinach a day; I find it one of the most underused ingredients out there. I add huge handfuls to my morning shakes, shred into everyday salads or soups, and I love wilting it in a pan with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of sea salt. It’s great with eggs in the morning or with fish fried in harissa butter.
