For the Paneer:

• 250g paneer (cottage cheese), cubed
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1/2 tsp Nuvi Spicez’ Turmeric Powder

For the Masala:

• 2 tbsp oil or ghee
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 1/2 cup tomato purée
• 1 tsp Nuvi Spicez’ Garam Masala
• 1/2 tsp Nuvi Spicez’ Perfect Spice-Perfect Colour Red Chilli Powder

How to Whip Up This Deliciousness:

1. Blanch and Blitz That Spinach:

Ready to kick things off? Wash the spinach leaves, blanch them in hot water for just 2-3 minutes until they’re vibrant green, then plunge into ice water. Blitz them into a smooth purée with green chillies and set aside.

2. Sizzle That Paneer:

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add Nuvi’s Turmeric Powder, and fry the paneer cubes until they’re golden and delicious. Set aside and get ready for the next step!

3. Cook Up That Masala:

In the same pan, heat 2 tbsp oil or ghee. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Toss in the chopped onions and sauté until they’re golden brown and aromatic. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste, then pour in the tomato purée along with Nuvi’s Garam Masala, Nuvi’s Perfect Red Chilli Powder, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the oil separates and the flavours are dancing!

4. Add the Spinach Goodness:

Stir in the spinach purée, mixing thoroughly. Add a splash of water if needed for the perfect consistency. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes—your kitchen will smell heavenly!

5. Paneer to the Rescue:

Fold in those golden paneer cubes, making sure they’re coated with the luscious spinach masala. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes. If you’re feeling indulgent, mix in a spoonful of fresh cream or yoghurt for that extra creamy touch.

6. Serve & Devour:

Your vibrant Palak Paneer is ready to shine on your dinner table! Serve it hot with naan, chapati, or jeera rice. This is comfort food at its finest!
