Palak Paneer is a pretty simple, flavorful curry. I went pretty light on the spices to avoid discoloration of the curry. There are a couple options of how to cook the spinach. It can be blanched, but it can lead to a more watery curry, and I prefer palak paneer to be relatively thick in consistency.
- 300g Spinach
- 1 Onion, chopped
- 1 Tomato , chopped
- 300g Paneer cheese, cut into bit sized cubes
- 1-2 tsp garlic-ginger paste
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1-2 green chilies, deseeded
- ~50ml cream
- salt
- Fry spinach and chilies in batches. Using an immersion mixer blend spinach, chilies and cream together into a rough texture.
- Sautee onions until translucent. Add garlic-ginger paste, spices and tomato and fry until tomato starts to lose its texture.
- Mix blended spinach with onion mixture. If it seems too dry, you can add either cream or water to loosen up the consistency.
- Add paneer cheese to the curry and allow cheese to warm up for a couple minutes. Best served with rice and naan bread.
