========================================= How To Make Palak Paneer - With My Little Kitchen ========================================= Learn how to make our Palak Paneer, with us helping you along the way. Let us know how yours turned out! ========= Ingredients ========= 260g Paneer cut into 1 inch cubes 750g baby spinach 1 medium white onion finely diced 100ml chopped tin tomatoes 1 tspn chilli powder 1 tspn dry fenugreek leaves 1 tspn turmeric powder 1 tspn coriander powder 4 tablespoons of oil (2 of which we will use to fry the paneer and the remaining 2 for when we start cooking) 1 tspn garlic paste 1 tspn ginger paste 1 tspn salt 100ml water A nice a slab of butter at the end of the dish to finish it off *optional ======= Method ======= Preheat a wok on medium heat and add the oil and the paneer and gently fry till the paneer cubes are golden brown on almost all sides. Once done gently remove and set aside. Using the wok add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and get that nice and hot, add the onion and fry till they are translucent and lightly brown. Add the ginger, garlic, chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt, coriander powder and dry fry them for 20 secs. Add the chopped tomatoes and water, mix well and add the baby spinach. Place the lid on and allow to wilt for 5 mins. After 5 mins, stir the ingredients to prevent them from catching the bottom of the wok and allow the liquid to reduce by more than half with the lid off. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blitz until you have a paste which is neither too coarse nor too smooth, but in the middle! Transfer this back into the same wok and on low to medium heat, allow to simmer for 5 - 7 mins with the lid on. When taking the lid off to stir the palak mixture, ensure the heat is reduced to the lowest possible setting as the paste has a tendency to bubble and splatter out of the wok - please be careful at all times. After 7 mins you can now see the palak mixture has cooked and slightly darkened in colour, the oil has also come to the surface, we’re now ready to add the pre-fried paneer. Gently stir that in as we don’t want the paneer to break. Put the lid on allow the paneer to heat through for around 2-3 mins on low heat. To finish the dish off, take the dry fenugreek leaves between the palms of your hands and rub them to release their aroma, once done add these in. OPTIONAL - Add a nice slap of butter into the dish and gently stir that in till it melts. The butter finishes of the dish with a distinctive, rich creamy flavour. =================================== Please don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and Share!
