Palak Paneer:
Ingredients:
350 grams spinach
1 medium tomato
5 large garlic cloves divided, 3 whole and 2 finely chopped
1 inch ginger
1 green chili or more to taste
1 tablespoon oil 15 ml,
1 large onion finely chopped
1/2 cup water or as needed
1/2 inch cinnamon stick
1/4 tsp jeera
2 cardamom
2 lavang
3/4-1 teaspoon garam masala
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
salt to taste
2-3 tablespoons heavy cream or adjust to taste
225 grams paneer cut into cubes
lemon juice to taste
Method:
1. To a pot of boiling water, add little salt and then spinach leaves to it. Blanch the spinach leaves for 2 to 3 minutes until wilted.
2. Take them out and put them in ice cold water. This helps the leaves in retaining their green color.
3. To a blender, add the blanched spinach along with tomato, 3 cloves of garlic, ginger and green chili. Puree to a smooth paste and set aside.
4. Heat a pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the oil and then add the remaining 2 cloves of chopped garlic. Sauté for few minutes until it starts changing color.
5. Then add the chopped onions. Cook the onion for 2 to 3 minutes until soft and translucent.
6. Add in the prepared spinach puree and mix. Also add around 1/2 cup water at the point.
7. Let it cook for 6-8 minutes on medium heat. The spinach will bubble a lot. Stir at regular intervals to avoid sticking at the bottom.
8. Once the spinach is cooked, add the garam masala, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix and cook for 1 minute.
9. You may also add ½ teaspoon of sugar at this point if you like.
Then add the heavy cream and mix.
10. Stir in the paneer and mix. Let the curry simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Switch off the flame, add lemon juice and mix.
Serve palak paneer hot with naan or roti or rice
Method:
Take a bowl and add all the ingredients and mix them together. Pour it into a glass. Serve it chilled.
