15 Minutes fix for Palak Paneer

The reason I am sharing this rather common recipe is because I used to not do it right and wonder how many of us do the same mistake...So here is a rather boring post but for a social cause...Wink!

In a wok, heat vegetable oil, add garlic & onions. Once they begin to turn golden, add in spinach (lots of it or in batches as it wilts quickly), salt, turmeric and coriander powder. In about 3 - 4 minutes when the spinach is wilted down, remove the pan from heat.

Take a good old food processor and add in the cooked spinach, jalapeno (if you desire), little water, 1/2 cup yogurt and coriander. I am very generous with coriander so I added an entire stock of it. Make sure after a few rounds, the consistency is what you like. Add in a little water if it turns out to be too thick!

Once you are done with blending the spinach, all you have to do is in the same wok, add a little oil and fry Paneer. Once the paneer is brown on two sides, add in the spinach paste. It takes less than 5 minutes for the entire dish to be ready after this step.

If you like, you can add in a dollop of sour cream. I went with a little cream cheese.

Enjoy !!
