Golden baked paneer cubes and tender spinach in a creamy, spiced cream sauce, served with fragrant saffron rice scented with cinnamon, cardamom and cloves.

Paneer
Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Season the paneer with salt, spread out on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in the middle of the oven for approx. 20 min. until lightly golden.
Spiced rice
Rinse the rice twice in a sieve under cold water and drain. Heat the oil in a pan and toast the cinnamon, cardamom and cloves for approx. 1 min. Add the rice and sweat briefly, then add the water, salt and saffron and bring to the boil. Cover and leave to swell over a low heat for approx. 12 min., remove from the hob and leave to rest for approx. 10 min. Remove the whole spices and fluff up the rice with a fork.
Spinach
Wilt the dripping-wet spinach in a wide pan over a medium heat for approx. 2 min. Transfer to a sieve and drain well.
Sauce
Heat the oil in a pan. Sweat the onion, garlic and ginger for approx. 3 min. Add all the spices and sweat for approx. 1 min. more. Pour in the water, stock and cream, bring to the boil and simmer over a low heat for approx. 15 min.
Finishing
Purée the sauce until smooth with a stick blender. Stir in the cornflour and simmer for approx. 1 min. until the sauce thickens. Add the spinach and paneer, bring to the boil once and season with salt.
Serving
Arrange the palak paneer on plates with the spiced rice.
