"Delicious Indian spinach dish with crispy paneer for a satisfying vegetarian meal."
Ingredients:
  • 2 bunches spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 bunch fenugreek leaves, roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 0.5 pound paneer, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream
  • salt to taste
Instructions:
  • Collect all the necessary ingredients.
  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add spinach and fenugreek. Cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Drain well.
  • Add the ingredients to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, approximately 5 times.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of canola oil. Add the paneer cubes and cook until they are golden brown on all sides, which should take around 5 minutes. Then, transfer the paneer to a plate.
  • In the same skillet, warm 2 tablespoons of canola oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook until they are lightly toasted and release their aromatic flavors, approximately 3 minutes.
  • Sauté onion until softened for 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger until coated.
  • Combine the tomato, garam masala, turmeric, and cayenne pepper in the pot and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tomato breaks down.
  • Incorporate the pureed spinach, paneer cubes, and cream into the mixture, then season with salt to taste.
  • Simmer covered over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
