Palak paneer


Spinach in itself has a wonderful  flavor and so does Paneer and the combination is unbelievably good. The best way to eat greens. Spinach is rich in iron and calcium content and Paneer is a good  source of protein.

Ingredients:
Spinach/ Palak - 1 bunch
Paneer - 200 gms
Tomato - 1,small
Onion - 1,small
Green chillies - 6
Cloves - 2
Cinnamon - 1/2 inch stick
Kala jeera - 1/2 tsp
Red chill powder - 1/2 tsp
Corriander/Daniya pwd - 1tsp
Garam masala/Pav baaji masala - 1tsp
Cooking oil
Salt

How I made this:
1.In a large vessel, add lots of water and chopped spinach, tomato and boil it for 10-15 mins.
2.Once the spinach shrinks into half and cooks properly switch off the stove, drain water and let it cool.
3.Put spinach in blender and make into puree.
4.In a pan, add some oil once its hot, add kala jeera and onions, cloves, cinnamon and saute for 5 mins.
5.Now, add green chillies, daniya powder, chili powder  and saute for couple of minutes.
6.Add palak puree to this, and let it cook for 5 more mins.
7.Now add, garam masala or pav bajji masala and salt to it.
8.Add chopped paneer pieces and cover it up.
9.Let it cook for another 10 mins and it will be done

  • Kala jeera will give a unique flavor to this, while Pav bajji masala will give a twist in flavor

Serve with: Roti/ Chapati/ Naan
