Easy swaps You could add other veg to the rice – frozen veg works well as it’s quick to cook in a pan before adding the rice – or chopped up leftovers from another meal.

Method
Cook the rice according to the pack instructions.
In a bowl, mix the mango chutney, ketchup, ginger-garlic paste and garam masala with 6 tbsp water. Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Season the paneer and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden, then add the mango chutney mixture. Cook over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is sticky and coating the paneer.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in another frying pan, then add the cashews and both seeds. Cook for about 4 minutes over a medium heat until toasted, then stir in the spinach and peas and cook for 3 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Stir in the cooked rice and season with salt and pepper. Serve the rice topped with the saucy, glazed paneer.
