Date-Spiced Paneer

Paneer is now available from most supermarkets, and although to the uninitiated it can seem hard and unyielding, when simmered in fragrant sauce it quickly becomes soft and delicious. I love the fruity caramel note that dates add to this dish – if you can’t get hold of date molasses, don’t worry, simply add a teaspoon of muscovado sugar with the chopped dates and the results will still be spectacular.
