Ingredients
3Tbsp.
coconut or vegetable oil
1
large onion, finely sliced
2
garlic cloves, crushed
1Tbsp.
coriander seeds, lightly crushed with a pestle and mortar
2tsp.
black mustard seeds
2tsp.
ground turmeric
900g
floury potatoes, cut into 3cm pieces
150ml
vegetable stock
2
x 226g blocks paneer
21/2Tbsp.
tandoori spice paste (we used Patak's)
200g
baby spinach, rinsed and drained
3Tbsp.
mango chutney
Directions
Step 1Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan) mark 7. Heat 2tbsp of the oil in a medium roasting tin or ovenproof serving dish in the oven for 5min. Stir in onion and return to oven for 10min, until light golden. Stir garlic, spices and potatoes into the tin/dish. Pour in stock, cover tin/dish with foil and return to the oven for 20-25min, until potatoes are tender.
Step 2Meanwhile, cut paneer blocks into 2cm pieces. Gently mix in a bowl with the tandoori paste, remaining 1tbsp oil and some seasoning. Spread out on a small baking sheet and cook alongside the potatoes for 20min.
Step 3Uncover potato tin and gently stir in the rinsed spinach. Dot with small spoonfuls of mango chutney, top with the paneer and return to the oven for 5min until the spinach has wilted. Serve.
If you want to make this recipe vegan, then replace the paneer with tofu or chunks of red pepper and check that the stock and tandoori paste you use is vegan-friendly.
