Preparation

Prepare the vegetables by slicing the onion, grating the garlic and ginger, and slicing the red peppers and green chillies.
Dice the paneer into 2-2.5cm cubes.

Cooking

In a slow cooker, combine the onion, garlic, red peppers, ginger, green chillies, paneer, butter, passata, tomato purée, sugar, garam masala, and cumin seeds.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Cook on high for 4 hours until the vegetables are tender and the paneer is soft but intact.
Stir in the single cream, lime juice, spinach, and coriander stalks, allowing the spinach to wilt.
Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Plating & Serving

Divide the curry into four bowls and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve with steamed coriander rice and paratha.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute paneer with firm tofu and use plant-based cream. Ensure paneer chunks are large enough to maintain their shape during cooking.

Suggested Sides
