Palak Paneer ( spinach and cottage cheese )
PALAK PANEER
This is a very popular dish which is enjoyed with both roti and rice. Palak has got many benefits and should be consumed but young and old.
Generally at home and specially in Bengal this dish is prepared without onion and garlic . But today I will show you how you can get the taste like what we get in Restaurants.
- First I boiled 5 bunches of spinach ( palak) with 5 green chillies
- Added 2cups of water and 1tsp of salt.
- After boiling let it cool down.
- Then make it into a paste in your mixer grinder and keep it aside.
- In the meantime sauté 200 gms of cottage cheese in a pan/ kadai with 1 Tbsp of ghee.
- Now in the cooker added 1 Tbsp of ghee
- Add 1 tsp of jeera(cumin seeds) and 2 bay leaves.
- Fry for a minute.
- Then add 1 big onion , finely chopped.
- Along with it fry 1 tsp of ginger-garlic paste.
- Fry till the raw smell goes away.
- Now add 2 tsp of kasuri methi.
- Add 1tsp of salt and sugar.
- Adjust salt according to your taste .
- I don't add chilli powder as I use green chili .
- Stir it for a minute and then add the spinach paste along with water.
- Cook in medium flame for 15 minutes.
