- For the lemon rice, cook the lemon zest and spices in a little oil until fragrant. Add the rice and stir well. Tip in 2 mugs of water and 1 tsp salt, bring to a simmer, put on a lid and cook until water is absorbed and rice cooked. Add a splash of lemon juice to serve.
- To make the dhal, put the lentils and turmeric in a pan and add water to cover by 2cm. Season and simmer for about 20 minutes until tender, adding more water if needed. Heat some oil in a pan then cook the onion, garlic and chilli for a few minutes. Add the garam masala, cook for a minute then stir into the cooked lentils.
- For the saag paneer, fry the paneer in a little oil until golden. Add the onion, ginger, garlic and spices, and cook until softened. Add the spinach and a splash of water and cook until wilted.
- To make the onion raita, mix everything together just before serving and season.
- Make the aubergine and tomato curry by frying the onion in oil until soft. Tip onto a plate. Add a little more oil to the pan and fry the aubergine in batches until browned all over and tender. Add another slug of oil to the pan and fry the spices for 30 seconds, add back the aubergine and onion, plus the cherry tomatoes, and cook everything until the tomatoes have burst. Season with salt and scatter with coriander leaves.
