PALAK PANEER (Indian Cheese with Spinach Curry)
Saturday, May 19, 2007
Spinach or Palak (in Hindi) is one of the healthiest foods which we can add to our diet. It is low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals like iron, calcium. Spinach is naturally very bland and usually people are not very fond of it. But, there are some very popular traditional Indian dishes like spinach pakora and 'Palak paneer'(Indian Cheese with Spinach Curry) which you will relish. Palak paneer is one of my favorite indian curries. It is very easy to cook and tastes very good.
Also see 'How to make paneer/Indian Cheese'.
Serves: 3-4
Cooking time: 25 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- Spinach- 1 lb
- Paneer/ Indian Cheese- 10-15 cubes (softened)
- Medium size onion- 1 (chopped)
- Garlic paste- 1 tbsp
- Ginger paste- 1 tbsp
- Large tomato- 1 (pureed)
- Olive oil/Ghee- 2-3 tbsp
- Cumin seeds- 2 tsp
- Green chilies- 3-4
- Chili powder- 1-2 tsp
- Cumin powder – 2 tsp
- Coriander powder-1 ½ tbsp
- Garam masala powder-1 tsp
- Roasted cashew- 8-10
- Roasted almonds- 5-6
METHOD:
- Chop the spinach and boil it for 6-7 minutes or until it become very soft in ½ cup of water.
- Remove the boiled spinach from water and let it cool for a while. Grind it with 2-3 green chilies to make a smooth puree.
- Heat cooking oil in a heavy bottomed vessel. (Traditionally ghee or butter is used for this dish, but I prefer using olive oil for health reasons.) Add cumin seeds and 2 chopped green chilies. Fry them for 1 minute.
- Add chopped onion, garlic and ginger paste. Fry it till onion gets transparent and very soft. Now add pureed tomato, salt, and all spices (coriander, chili, cumin, garam masala powder). Sauté this mixture for 4-5 minutes on medium heat.
- Now add powdered roasted cashew, almonds and spinach puree. Mix it well and cover the pan. Add little water if required (gravy should not be very dilute). Cook it on medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Add paneer cubes to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on medium low heat. Many people like to fry paneer cubes in oil or ghee for a while before adding to spinach puree. But, if you have soft and fresh paneer cubes, I would recommend adding it directly.
- Remove from heat. Add a little bit of Ghee/ Butter for taste if you have used oil for cooking. If you want you can garnish it with shredded paneer, chopped coriander leaves. Palak paneer/ Indian Cheese with Spinach Curry is ready to be served. Serve it with rice, roti, naan, parantha, chapatti, tortilla, bread etc.

I'm amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's
both educative and entertaining, and let me tell
you, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which not enough folks are speaking intelligently about.
I am very happy I stumbled across this during my hunt for something concerning this.

First of all I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself
and clear your head before writing. I have had trouble
clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or
hints? Thanks!
