Palak Paneer

Hello Nona!

Here is another favourite recipe. Bahut dhoondh-dhaand ke nikali thi. Try it. Simple hai aur result achcha aayega. :)

Palak Paneer

Ingredients
500 gms of Palak
1 Onion (chopped finely)
1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic paste
3 Green Chillies
1 cup Milk
2 tbsp Cream (Use fresh cream, if in India)
1 tsp Garam Masala Powder
1 tbsp Kasuri Methi leaves (dry fenugreek leaves)
200 gms of diced paneer - lightly fried
2 big fresh tomatoes - puried

Method

1. Clean and wash palak nicely. Chop palak and chillies.
2. Put Palak and chillies, water (1 cup) in a cooker on high heat. Give one whistle. Take it off the gas.
3. In a kadhai fry onion till brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and fry for sometime.
4. Wait till both the onion-garlic-ginger paste and palak cool down, and then grind them together to a fine paste.
4. Roast Kasuri methi on a medium-hot tava for half a min (see that you don't burn it- remove it from the tava as soon as it just turns brown) and powder it by rubbing it between your palms.
5. Add tomato puree to the kadhai and fry it well. Add palak paste and kasuri methi, and stir for about 1 minute.
6. Add milk.
7. Add garam masala powder
8. Add 2 tbsp cream and paneer.
9. Add salt. Cook for 5 mins. Keep stirring every now and then.

Palak Paneer is ready to be served!
