Instructions to make Palak Paneer:
- Clean and wash the spinach. Boil water in a pan. Blanch the spinach until it changes color. Remove it to a bowl with ice cold water so that it retains its color.
- Squeeze out the water from the spinach. Puree it into a smooth paste and keep aside.
- Cut the paneer into bite sized pieces. It can be any shape of your choice but cubes work best. You can also fry the paneer but I prefer the soft texture of the unfried one.
- Heat oil in a pan. Add the bay leaf.
- Add in the garlic. When it changes color, add the ginger and cook for a minute.
- Add the chopped onions and the green chillies. Saute until the onions are translucent.
- Add the tomato puree and saute for a minute or two.
- Now add the dry masalas - salt, red chillies powder, cumin powder and coriander powder. Mix well and saute until you can see the oil appearing on the sides.
- Add in the spinach puree. Mix well. You can add a bit of water if required.
- When it begins to bubble, add in the paneer pieces. Mix until they are well coated. Do not cover the pan or the spinach will lose its color.
- To finish, add the garam masala and kasoori methi. Mix well.
- Palak paneer is ready to serve.
