2 cup Spinach(frozen or fresh) 1 cup Paneer cubed 1 small Onion finely chopped(I like mine pureed) 2 tsp garlic, ginger and green chilli paste 1/2 cup tomatoes pureed Salt to taste, red chilli powder, Dhana jeera masala and garam masala(adjust to your liking) Very small amount of turmeric- reason is if you use more tumeric in any green vegees, tumeric can kill good vitamins and iron 1 tbsp Olive oil Pinch of hing(asafoetida)
Method 1st-Place spinach with little water in a microwave bowl and let it cook for 7 minutes. Meanwhile peel the onion, garlic, ginger and grind in a grinder with green chillies and very little water. Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan, add hing and grind paste. let it fry on a medium heat for 5 minutes or untill gets slightly brown.(In this time I was kneading my chappati dough) Now add pureed tomato and add all the masala and cook till you see oil leaving masala. 7 minutes pass, spinach has cooked and add into a grinder to make puree, this time I didn’t made it in to fine puree, just in to coarse…add spinach and mix well and now add paneer cubes and let it cook for further 3-4 minutes. Ready to serve in 12 minutes! Great with round and soft Gujarati rotlis, naan and puri.
