Method

  • step 1

    Bring a medium pan of water to the boil. Add the eggs and cook for 7 mins, then put them in a bowl of cold water and set aside.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, drizzle the oil in a large non-stick frying pan or shallow casserole dish. Add the onion and fry over a medium-high heat for 5 mins. Tip in the paneer and fry for 5 mins or until evenly browned and the onion is beginning to caramelise.

  • step 3

    Add the curry powder and fry for 1 min, then add the spinach. Cover with a lid and cook for a few mins to allow the spinach to defrost. Uncover, add the rice, turn up the heat and cook for a few mins more or until everything is piping hot. Season. Peel the eggs, halve and place on top of the rice. Finish with a scattering of chilli, if you like.

I added some frozen peas at the same time as the spinach for extra sweetness and texture. And before serving added some fresh lemon juice to lift the flavours.

I enjoyed this, a nice, easy, mid week meal - I didn't have any of the issues some have reported, I just followed the recipe exactly as it is. Will make again

We quite like this recipe but do make a few adaptations as others have said. Use halloumi instead of paneer (more taste) and fresh spinach plus cumin, garlic etc as others have suggested. A spoon of water if it looks dry and soft boiled eggs help too.

I wish I read the reviews before making this dish. I also found it very bland & extremely dry. I would recommend adding curry paste.

Really bland and powdery! Not good at all! I’ll try it again but use paste and marinade the paneer over night or at least for a few hours first. Wish I’d read these reviews before I made it!
