Instructions: How to Make Palak Paneer

• Blanch and Puree

  Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 2 minutes, then immediately shock in ice-cold water to retain the green color. Blend the cooled spinach with one green chili into a smooth puree.

• Sauté Masala

  Heat ghee/oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds; once they splutter, sauté onions and ginger-garlic paste until golden. Add tomatoes and dry spices, cooking until the tomatoes soften and oil slightly separates.

• Simmer with Paneer

  Pour paneer in the spinach puree and adjust consistency with a splash of water. Add salt and the raw (or lightly pan-seared) paneer cubes. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, sprinkle garam masala, and serve hot.
