- Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Put the paneer in a separate bowl and toss with a third of the marinade. Add the aubergines to the remaining marinade and stir through to coat; set aside for 10 mins.
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C and line 2 baking trays. Put the aubergines on one and the paneer on the other. Roast the aubergines for 20 mins, turning halfway, or until tender. Bake the paneer for the final 10 mins.
- Meanwhile, heat the rice and curry sauce to pack instructions. Reserve a third each of the aubergines and paneer for the tikka pittas. Drizzle warm curry sauce over the remaining aubergine and paneer and scatter with coriander. Serve with rice.
- Cook once, eat twice tip: Use the leftover aubergine and paneer for Dina's tikka pittas recipe.
