You will need:-
- 2 cup Spinach(frozen or fresh)
- 1 cup Paneer cubed
- 1 small Onion finely chopped(I like mine pureed)
- 2 tsp garlic, ginger and green chilli paste
- 1/2 cup tomatoes pureed
- Salt to taste, red chilli powder, Dhana jeera masala and garam masala(adjust to your liking)
- Very small amount of turmeric- reason is if you use more tumeric in any green vegees, tumeric can kill good vitamins and iron
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Pinch of hing(asafoetida)
1st-Place spinach with little water in a microwave bowl and let it cook for 7 minutes. Meanwhile peel the onion, garlic, ginger and grind in a grinder with green chillies and very little water. Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan, add hing and grind paste.
let it fry on a medium heat for 5 minutes or untill gets slightly brown.(In this time I was kneading my chappati dough) Now add pureed tomato and add all the masala and cook till you see oil leaving masala. 7 minutes pass, spinach has cooked and add into a grinder to make puree, this time I didn't made it in to fine puree, just in to coarse...add spinach and mix well and now add paneer cubes and let it cook for further 3-4 minutes.
Ready to serve in 12 minutes!
Great with round and soft Gujarati rotlis, naan and puri.
Dear,
ReplyDeleteThe Paalak Paneer looks awesome. If you can whip that up when you are tired I can't think what you will when you are revived. :)..an elaborate multi-course feast?
You had Lasik done to your eyes? I feel sort of a kinship with you cause I just got that done 4 months ago. I too need to go for a checkup in a couple of months.:)
