Today I 'm sharing one of my all- time favourite Indian recipes - palak paneer! It's healthy, flavorful, and super easy to make at home. Let's turn simple spinach and paneer into something absolutely delicious!
💡Ingredients:

🧀For the Curry:
• 200 grams paneer (cut into cubes)
• 2 tablespoons oil or ghee
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 onion (finely chopped)
• 1 tomato (finely chopped or pureed)
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
• salt to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon Garam Masala
• 1 tablespoon cream (optional)
🧑🍳 How to Make It:
🟢 Make the Spinach puree:
1. Wash spinach leaves well. Boil them in water for 2 minutes.
2. Immediately transfer to cold water to keep the green color vibrant.
3. Bland with green chilli and ginger to make a smooth puree.
🍲 Prepare the Masala:
1. Heat oil/ghee in a pan. Add cumin seeds.
2. Add chopped onions and sauté till golden brown.

🌿 Combine Spinach & paneer:
1. Add the Spinach puree and salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes on low heat.
2. Add the paneer cubes and gently mix.
3. Finally, sprinkle garam masala and a spoon of cream. Cook for 2 more minutes.
🍽️ Serving Tip:
• Serve hot with roti, naan, or jeera rice.
• Garnish with a bit of butter or cream on top - and enjoy the rich, creamy flavour !
💡My Tip:
• For a healthier version, you can skip the cream.
• Lightly pan-frying the paneer before adding makes it even more tasty! 😋
