Description

I love palak paneer, but my family complains whenever I make it. When everyone is gone for the day, I’ll make a quick version and be happy because there is just enough left for lunch the next day.

Ingredients

  • 9 ounces, fluid Package Frozen, Chopped Spinach, Thawed
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 whole Garlic Cloves, Minced
  • ¼ cups Minced Red Onion
  • ½ teaspoons Mustard Seeds (or 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Mustard)
  • 12 cubes Paneer
  • 2 pinches Ground Cayenne Pepper (or More, If You Can Handle The Heat)
  • 1 pinch Ground Nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • Black Pepper To Taste
  • ½ cups Water

Preparation

Start by squeezing out water from spinach. Set aside.

In a medium non-stick saute pan, heat oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add garlic and mix for a second or two. Add onion and mustard and saute for a minute or two. Don’t let the garlic burn. Add paneer cubes, cayenne, nutmeg, kosher salt, and a little black pepper, frying for a few minutes to get a little color on the cheese. Add the spinach and water and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

I like mine with cumin-scented rice. It is sooo good.

Hi, Twinks! If you want to make a more traditional version, you should check out Indian Simmer’s Palak Paneer (on TK). It is very similar to the one my friend’s mum taught me to make. My version is a little more like Saag Aloo (spinach and taters). She also has a lovely tutorial on making homemade paneer, if you need a nudge. I really love her blog!
