Baked ricotta serves as a perfect stand in for paneer, a classic Indian cooked cheese, in this mild vegetarian curry. Deliciously creamy and rich we've taken inspiration from matar and saag paneer curries and combined the two for a lovely warm meal for these cooler nights.

Pot
Rice Cooker (Optional)
In a medium pot, bring 11⁄2 cups water to a boil. Stir in the rice. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes until all of the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside, with lid on, in a warm place to let rice finish cooking. Fluff the finished rice with a fork.
Dice ricotta into 2cm chunks. Dice onion. Peel and mince garlic and ginger. Pick coriander leaves, finely shop stems. Dice potato.
Heat a pan over medium high heat and add some oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the cubes of ricotta and sear on each side until browned and crisp. Set aside on a plate.
In the same pan, add the onions and fry for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the curry paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add coriander stems, potato, tomato paste/stock and 200ml of water and fried ricotta, simmer for 5 minutes until slightly reduced.
Tip! If you like it spicy you can always add some chilli powder or fresh chilli.
Add the cream, spinach and peas and cook until spinach has wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning as required.
Serve curry with rice, mango chutney and coriander.
