Method

  1. Toss the paneer with the turmeric. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the paneer for 6-7 mins, turning regularly, until golden on all sides. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Meanwhile, boil the greens for 2-3 mins until just tender. Drain, reserving a mugful of the cooking water.
  3. Return the frying pan to a medium heat with the remaining oil. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and green chilli and fry for 6-7 mins until lightly golden, stirring frequently. Add the garam masala and chilli powder and cook for 1 min until fragrant. Tip into a blender, along with half the spring greens and 1-2 tbsp of the reserved cooking water; season. Blitz to a thick, smooth sauce.
  4. Pour the sauce back into the frying pan, along with the remaining greens. Dot the paneer in the sauce and heat through for 2 mins. Squeeze in the lemon juice. Serve alongside the cooked rice.
