Love this recipe. Always reminds me of road trips I used to take up to the mountains when I lived in Delhi.
- Blanch 350 gm of spinach – fresh or frozen – in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain, cool and blend to a paste.
- Heat mustard oil in a wok and throw in 1 tsp of cumin seeds
- Add half a cup of chopped onion and cook till golden brown
- Add 1 tbsp Ginger Garlic paste and splash of water. Cook on high heat for 2 min.
- Add two large pureed tomatoes and fry this mixture up till the oil separates and the mixture starts leaving the sides of the pan
- Add 1 tsp each of turmeric, red chilli, coriander powder and salt. Cook for 3 min on high heat, constantly stirring.
- Add 4 green chillies slit lengthwise, and tip in the spinach paste
- Mix well and add salt. You want all those spices to get to know the spinach and blend well.
- Cut your paneer into little cubes and blanch them in hot water for 2 min
- Transfer to the spinach and mix gently
- Add a drizzle of cream and mix well till the spinach coats the paneer
- Garnish with julienned ginger and serve
