Bom Bahia Paneer Butter Masala with Peshwari Rice

What is it?

Paneer cheese sits in a creamy butter masala sauce alongside Peshwari-inspired rice, usually with the grains kept separate rather than mixed through. Sauce leans on tomato, dairy and spice, while the rice brings a sweet, nutty note from dried fruit and coconut-style flavouring. It's part of the Bom Bahia frozen range, which centres on Indian-inspired meals. Heat from frozen in the microwave or oven, then stir before eating if you want the sauce to coat everything more evenly. Butter masala is one of the milder, creamier curry sauces, so this won't hit you with much heat. Peshwari rice adds an unusual twist, with its sweetness from sultanas and coconut sitting alongside the richer, more savoury curry in a combination that works better than you might expect.
