Paalak Paneer

One more paneer dish that I have always enjoyed tinkering with. Adding the much adored palak to it only kicks it up a notch! So here goes my version of the dish that is quite popular on the Indian cuisine.



Ingredients
Paneer cubes 10-15
Onion chopped 1
Ginger/Garlic paste 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Coriander Powder 1 Tsp
Oil 1 Tsp

For Gravy

1 bunch of fresh spinach (palak)
1 small piece ginger
2-3 Green chillies
1 onion small finely chopped
1 tomato well chopped

Method
1) Wash & drain the water from the spinach. Now chop them coarsely.
2) In a pan bring to boil or microwave on high for 8 minutes all the ingredients for gravy.
3) Cool & grind them coarsely to a semi-thick paste.
4) In the same pan heat the oil, fry onions till translucent. Add ginger garlic paste and fry briefly.
5) Then mix all the spice powders & stir for a couple of minutes.
6) Now add the spinach paste & let it cook for a couple of minutes till they all get mixed well.
7) Now add the Paneer cubes cook for 2 minutes & switch off the flame.

And that's it! Super simple and extremely tasty Palak Paneer is ready to be had with piping hot rotis and/or rice.

Enjoy!
