Palak Paneer


This one is another favourite at our home, Bunty and Bubbly both love paneer and its very simple to make too. So here's my recipe of easy-peasy Palak Paneer.

500 gm- paneer cubes ( I used Taj's frozen paneer that you can get at any Indian grocery shop )1 bunch - palak ( spinach - washed and roughly chopped)

1' - ginger ( shopped )

1 - tomato

3 - green chillies ( or 2 , but I like it spicy so I used 3 )

1 - finely chopped onion
1/2 tsp - jeera ( cumin seeds)
100 ml - cream
1 tsp - jeera powder

Heat a pan on the stove top and put the spinach, gree chillies and ginger in it and let it cook till spinach softens a little ( it takes about 5 minutes on medium heat ). Add chopped tomato and let it cool. Grind all together in a blender and keep aside.

In another pan, heat 1 tbsp cooking oil, add jeera. When it splutters, add onions and cook till it turns golden brown. Now add the blended gravy and a cup of water if the gravy is too thick - bring it to boil and then add the paneer and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Add cream and simmer for 2 more minutes and serve it hot with roti or naan.
