Palak Paneer

With so many us more caution about diet, it has become more of roti's these days. The main course being chapathi, the next question would be what sabzi? Something new everyday would be our thought. This dish is a common one prepared by most of us. I tried this out from Mariasmenu and turned out to be too good! And so sharing it with all of you.

1. Paneer – 200gm
2. Palak(spinach) – 1 bunch
3. Tomato – 2 medium
4. Ginger – 3/4 inch piece
5. Garlic – 5 to 6 cloves
6. Small onion – 4
7. Green chilli – 2
8. Onion – 1 chopped
9. Chilli powder – 1 tbsp
10. Coriander powder – 1 tbsp
11. Turmeric powder – 1/2 teaspoon
12. Garam Masala – 1/2 teaspoon
13. Salt to taste
14. Oil

Presuure cook palak, tomato, ginger, garlic, small onion,  green chilli in 2 cups of water for one whistle. Let it cool. Grind this to make a coarse paste.

Cut the panner into 1 inch cubes. Shallow fry them and keep them aside.

Heat oil in a pan, add the chopped onions.  Saute the onion till it becomes brown. Add the masala powders and stir for 5 minutes. Add palak paste and salt. Mix well. Add paneer cubes. Serve hot with roti.

It is a very simple and Healthy dish. It turned out really good. This was one of my best try of north indian recipes.

Hope it works out well for you as well :)
