This is going to make me feel hungry, and it's still a long way until lunch time! But here goes, this is what I do for curries, using a jar of paste for the base:
First of all, I set the rice cooking in the rice maker. Normally I finish the curry about the time the rice is ready. Then I peel and chop a couple of small/medium onions and throw them in the wok with some olive oil to soften.
Meanwhile, peel a few garlic cloves, a chunk of ginger and remove the seeds from one or two green chillis. Whizz them up with the hand blender, with a bit of water if necessary. Add that into the wok once the onions are soft.
Give that a few minutes to cook (normally while I cut up a packet of paneer into small cubes - 1 packet does the three of us). Mix in half the jar of paste. I tend to use Waitrose Makhani/Tikka Masala, saving the other half of the jar in the fridge until next time.
After it's had a few minutes to cook, throw in the paneer cubes and turn the heat up a bit. DH likes the paneer browned and slightly crispy, I prefer it softer. Generally I aim for half-way between the two! But it only takes about four or five minutes, much less than meat. And you can nibble the raw paneer beforehand too. 
If I've managed to get some edamame beans, I throw them in at the same time as the paneer. Otherwise I add some peas later on. Nothing to stop you adding other types of veggies though if wanted, or I have used chickpeas before to pad the meal out for more people.
Once the paneer is the right level of crispy, I add a small tin of chopped tomatoes and give that a minute or two to cook. Then the peas go in, if I'm using them.
After that's all cooked up (normally as I notice the rice is pretty much done) I add either low fat yoghurt or creme fraishe, for Tikka Masala/Makhani respectively. Cream is too stodgy, we find!
I let that bubble away while the rice finishes. Once the rice is done, I turn off the heat on the curry and throw in a handful of chopped coriander, stirring that through.
Then I serve it. M eats about 1/3 to 1/2 of the amount DH and I have, she does love her curry! With the paneer cut small enough, it all sticks together nicely so she manages really well scooping mouthfuls with a fork.
Is that ok? :)
