Making paneer korma at home is so much easier and quicker than you'd think, taking just 25 minutes from start to finish. This creamy, fragrant curry comes together beautifully with simple pantry staples and a good korma paste, making it perfect for weeknight dinners without breaking the bank. I love that paneer is packed with protein and calcium, giving you a hearty vegetarian meal that's genuinely satisfying. The addition of spinach boosts the nutrition even further, while ground almonds create that luxurious, velvety sauce that makes you feel like you've spent hours cooking. Serve it alongside fluffy rice or warm naan, and you've got restaurant quality curry on your table in under half an hour.
