- Add the chopped tomatoes, 200 ml/7 fl oz/scant 1 cup water, salt and sugar, bring up the the boil, then reduce the heat to low and continue to cook gently for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until you have a thick and creamy sauce.
- Add the frozen peas and spinach and cook for 2 minutes until the spinach has wilted, then add the paneer and stir well. Continue to cook for 3–5 minutes until the paneer is soft and giving, but no longer as it will become dense and tough.
