Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick Palak Paneer Dish.
Step 1
Start by warming a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the diced onion and sauté it until it softens just a bit, which should take around five minutes.
Step 3
Next, add in the crushed garlic along with a delightful mix of spices: ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, red pepper flakes, curry powder, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Stir everything together and let the spices cook for about a minute, allowing their wonderful aromas to fill your kitchen.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to introduce the star ingredients: add the thawed spinach, diced tomatoes, a splash of water, and freshly grated ginger to the skillet.
Step 6
Give it a good stir, then let this vibrant mixture simmer gently for about twenty minutes, letting all those flavors meld beautifully.
Step 7
After the simmering is done, take the skillet off the heat and let it cool for about five minutes.
Step 8
Once it’s slightly cooled, carefully transfer the spinach mixture to a blender and blend until it’s silky smooth.
Step 9
Set this luscious purée aside for now.
Step 10
In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 11
Add the cubed paneer and cook it until it’s lightly browned and deliciously golden, which should take around five minutes.
Step 12
Now, pour that vibrant spinach purée into the skillet with the browned paneer.
Step 13
Stir everything together and cook for an additional three to five minutes, just until everything is heated through and ready to serve.
Step 14
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s bursting with flavor and warmth!.
