Yield – 2 servings
Timing – 20 min
Prep time – 15 min
Total - 35 min
Ingredients:
Spinach- 200 gm, frozen or fresh
Paneer/Cottage cheese- 100 gm, fried
Tomato- 1 large, chopped
Onion- 1 medium size, chopped
Green chili- 3 nos. chopped
Coriander leaves- handful
Ginger- 2 inch, chopped
Garlic- 2 nos. roughly chopped
Dry red chili- 1 nos.
Asafoetida- 1 pinch
Cumin seeds- 1/2 tsp (teaspoon)
Red chili powder- 1 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Garam masala powder- ½ tsp
Oil- 4 tbsp (tablespoon)
Fresh cream for garnishing
Method:
Step 1- In a pan blanch the Spinach in boiling water for 2 minutes and then transfer the blanched spinach in a grinder jar, add fresh coriander, green chilies, and grind it into the smooth paste. (Also, you can use fresh Spinach instead of frozen Spinach).
Step 2- Set a wok on medium heat, pour oil, and follow with cumin seeds, asafoetida and dry red chili. Add chopped garlic & ginger and sauté for few seconds. Add chopped onion and fry it for a while until it gets translucent brown in color. Again, add chopped tomatoes and sauté until it turns soft and pulpy. Sprinkle some salt as per required taste. Then pour Spinach puree in it and cook it for 5-6 minutes. Sprinkle 1 tsp of turmeric powder, red chili powder & ½ tsp garam masala, stir it continuously & bring it to boil. If needed cover it for a few minutes. When you see an oil layer visible on the top and side layers, that means we can start adding Paneer, mix it and cook further for 2 minutes.
Palak Paneer is ready to be served with Roti or chapatti/ Paratha. Finally, finish garnishing with fresh cream😊
Tips: You can also use this cottage cheese without frying it. Because authentic Palak Paneer can also have this paneer/cottage cheese without being fried.
*Note- Normal Bread can be used if in case you don’t have Indian bread like Roti. Instead of paneer you can use tofu and Italian white cheese too.Storing Method- It can be stored in a refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Before serving - heat it a bit for a better taste.
