I love palak-paneer a lot but I always had issues with how we always over-cook the spinach and make most of the nutrition go away. That's the reason I tried this version. I loved the result, you try it and tell me what you feel about it.
Ingredients:
Fresh spinach- washed and chopped (I used 300 grams)
Onion- chopped
Tomatoes- chopped
Ginger- about 1/2 an inch piece
Garlic- 4-5 big pods
Cumin seeds- 2-3 pinches
Cottage cheese/Paneer- the amount you want to use, mashed or minced
Salt
Chilly powder
Coriander powder
Red chilly powder
Garam masalaOil for cooking
Onion- chopped
Tomatoes- chopped
Ginger- about 1/2 an inch piece
Garlic- 4-5 big pods
Cumin seeds- 2-3 pinches
Cottage cheese/Paneer- the amount you want to use, mashed or minced
Salt
Chilly powder
Coriander powder
Red chilly powder
Garam masalaOil for cooking
Method:
In a kadhai, heat oil and add cumin seeds. Once they turn brown, add the chopped onions and fry till they are almost golden. Add the ginger and garlic, followed by the chopped tomatoes. Cook this mixture well till it leaves oil. Now add the salt, red chilly powder, coriander and cumin powder. Add the chopped spinach to this and toss for a minute or two at max. Add the paneer and mix well. Cook for another minute or two for the paneer to absorb all the flavours. Add the garam masala in the end and serve.
* I usually let any dish stay for at least 20 minutes before serving. I feel it somehow helps in all the flavours blending together.
