Saag (Palek) Paneer

Prep garlic, ginger, onion, etc.

Cook frozen Spinach with 1/2 cup water in a microwave safe dish for 7-8 minutes stirring in between. Blend cooked Spinach to desired texture (avoid over-blending).

Meanwhile, In a non-stick frying pan, heat 1 tbsp Oil. Add in the paneer cubes and let them cook till they are golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan into a plate with paper towel to soak the excess oil. Optional: In a couple of minutes, pour the Paneer into a bowl of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

Heat 2tbs oil in a medium non-stick pan over high heat. Once Oil is hot, add in the minced Onions, stir, cover and let it cook for about 5 minutes. Add in the Ginger and Garlic and mix. Cook for another 4-5 minutes.

Add in the tomatoes, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Keep stirring frequently as the mixture tends to burn very fast.

Add the spinach, Garam Masala, cumin, coriander, salt, chili powder, and turmeric. Mix well and cook for 3-5 minutes.

Add in the desired amount of cream and/or milk. Mix and cook for another few minutes.

Add paneer and gently mix. Serve hot with rice.
