Introduction:
Palak paneer is a very healthy and rich prepartion of paneer and serves the purpose of main course in party cooking. Besides being healthy, it tastes delicious. I make it more healthy by adding some other green leafy vegetables and it augments the taste of usual palak paneer. Try it out.
Ingredients:
Fresh Palak: 500 gm
Fresh green methi: 150gmFresh spring onion: 150 gm
Ginger garlic paste: 2 tsp
Tomatoes: 4 medium size
Green chilli paste: 1tsp
Paneer(cottage cheese): 250 gm
Red chilli powder: 1tsp
Corriander powder: 2 tsp
Garam masala: 1/2 tsp
cumin seeds: 1 tsp
asefoetida: a pinch
Oil: 4 tsp
Salt: to taste
Lemon juice: 1 tsp
Fresh cream: for garnishing
Serves for: 4 persons
Preparation time: 15 min
cooking time: 10 min
Method:
Wash Palak, methi and spring onion and chop them. Put them together in pressure cooker and add 1 cup of water and cook for 1 whistle on medium flame. Puree the tomatoes. Let the boiled palak to cool and then make a paste of all the boiled veggies.
In a kadhi, heat oil. Add cumin seeds and asefoetida. now add ginger garlic paste and fry for 1 min. Now add tomato puree and green chilli paste. and fry till the oil seperates. Now add all the spices and cook for 1 min. Now add the palak paste and cook till it starts boiling. you can add more water if you want. Now add the paneer cubes into it and cook for 2 min on medium flame.
Put off the flame. Add lemon juice. Add fresh cream just before serving.
TIPS:
1. You can add dry kasoori methi instead of fresh green methi if not available.
2. You can add normal onions instead of spring onion if not available.
3. Do not boil the palak for more time otherwise it'll loose it's nutrients. 1 whistle is enough to cook the spinach.
4. You can also add fried paneer cubes into it. I like the non fried version of paneer. so i use the paneer directly.
