I love spinach, especially when it is braised just by itself.

Then when I came across a recipe where paneer was added to it, I just had to try it out and I loved it.

I doubt I will ever eat plain braised spinach anymore. I am not sure how well my dad will take it though, because when I told him that there was paneer in it, he didn’t want to believe me, until he dished up and had a taste and he tasted paneer, he didn’t want to eat anymore.

Although this dish has a lot of ingredients, it is actually really simple to make and very very quick.

• ¾ x tsp masala.
• 2 x tsp dhania powder.
• 1 x tsp jeera powder.
• ¼ x tsp turmeric powder.
• 1 x tsp salt.
• 400g x paneer, cubed.

Method:

• Heat the oil in a pot.
• Add in the onions and salt and saute till transparent.
• Add in the grated tomatoes, chilli, jeera seeds, coriander, garlic ginger paste, masala, dhania powder, jeera powder and turmeric.
• Give it a good stir and allow to cook till the tomatoes are cooked through and mushy.
• Add in the spinach and cook till wilted.
