JHATPAT CHATPAT- FOR QUICK, EASY AND TASTY RECIPES

Requisite: Mixer/blender

Palak paneer is a North Indian curry which originated in Punjab. It is prepared using spinach and Paneer or cottage cheese as the main ingredients. It tastes excellent with phulkas/ Rotis/ Chapati/ Nans and Kulchas which happen to be different bread varieties. I love this dish! Learnt from Raksha.

Ingredients:
3 bunches of spinach blanched( cooked in boiling water for 4 minutes)
3 bunches of chopped spinach
2-3 onions chopped lengthwise
1 tomato chopped
1.5 tsp fresh ginger garlic paste
1-2 green chillies depending upon the spice level you desire
0.5 tsp garam masala powder.
Cooking oil- 1.5 tsp
250- 300g paneer/ cottage cheese cubes

How to make:
Blanch 3 bunches of spinach and pour cold water over it immediately to retain it's colour. Grind it in a mixer along with onions, ginger- garlic paste, green chillies and tomato into a fine paste.
Warm some oil in a kadai or frying pan and cook the paste/ masala until its rawness goes away. Then add the chopped spinach, paneer, salt and cook covered. When the curry is almost done, add the garam masala powder so that it doesn't lose it's flavour. Serve hot with your choice of Indian bread.
