      +−What is it?

      upliance is a steel jar on a smart base with a touchscreen. It weighs, chops, cooks and stirs, and the screen tells you what to drop in next. Scroll to watch it make paneer capsicum from above.

    2. You, 7 min

      Cube paneer, quarter capsicum

      +−How rough?

      Cut 200 g paneer into bite-size cubes. Deseed 1 capsicum and cut it in 4. Peel 4 garlic cloves, pull the stem off 1 green chilli, and wash 8 coriander stems with the roots off. Finely chop 2 more coriander stems for the top. Mincing the garlic, chilli and coriander and chopping the capsicum is the jar's job, not yours.

    3. You, 30 s

      Drop 1 of 3

      +−What goes in

      1 green chilli, 8 coriander stems and 4 peeled garlic cloves into the empty jar. Put the lid and crown on.

      Minces it green

      +−No knife?

      With the lid and crown on, the blade minces the garlic, chilli and coriander fine in about 10 seconds. That green mince is the whole masala here.

      Chops capsicum into chunks

      +−How small?

      A few short pulses of the blade turn the capsicum into bite-size chunks, not mush, so it keeps some crunch. Scrape the sides down once it stops.

    7. You, 1 min

      Drop 3 of 3

      +−What goes in

      Scrape the sides down first. Then 200 g paneer cubes, 1½ tbsp refined oil, ½ tsp black pepper, ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp turmeric. Put the lid on and leave the crown off.

      +−What's the jar doing?

      With the crown off so the moisture escapes, upliance tosses everything together, then cooks it for about 9 minutes, giving it a slow stir every couple of minutes. The paneer turns turmeric-yellow, the capsicum softens and the green masala clings to every cube. A little charring at the bottom of the jar is normal with paneer.

    9. You, 1 min

      Coriander on top. Serve.

      Spoon it into a bowl, scatter the chopped coriander and eat it hot with roti, or piled on toast.
