Rapini adds a pleasant touch of bitterness to this mildly spiced curry, which is best served with naan or basmati rice.

Ingredients
Method
Homemade PaneerIn shallow Dutch oven, heat 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the oil over medium heat; cook garlic and cumin seeds, stirring, until seeds begin to pop and garlic is golden, about 2 minutes.
Stir in paprika, salt, turmeric and cayenne; cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Stir in tomato puree and 2 cups (500 mL) water; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 days.)
Meanwhile, in nonstick skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat; fry paneer, in batches and using small offset spatula to turn, until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towel–lined plate.
Return sauce to boil; stir in cream. Add spinach and rapini; simmer until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in paneer; cook for 2 minutes.
