Saag Paneer

Recipe Ingredients

2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Fresh baby spinach - washed, and
		Stems trimmed
1/4 cup	59ml	Ghee - (see recipe)
1/2 lb	227g / 8oz	Cubed paneer cheese
2		Yellow onions - finely chopped
3		Garlic cloves - minced
1 teaspoon	5ml	Freshly-grated ginger
1 teaspoon	5ml	Curry Powder - (see recipe)
1/2 cup	118ml	Buttermilk
1/4 cup	59ml	Plain yogurt
		Salt - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, toss in the spinach and blanch for 1 minute until very tender. Dump the spinach into a colander and press firmly with the back of a spoon to extract as much water as possible, set aside.

Heat the ghee in a deep skillet over medium-high flame. Add the cubed paneer and fry for a couple of minutes until light brown on all sides, gently turning to avoid breaking up the cubes. Remove the cheese from the skillet and set aside.

Return the skillet to the heat and saute the onions, garlic, and ginger; cook and stir for about 5 minutes until soft. Sprinkle the mixture with the curry powder; continue to stir to marry the flavors, about 1 minute. Fold in the chopped spinach and give everything a good toss.

Shut off the heat and stir the buttermilk and yogurt into the spinach to incorporate. The mixture should be creamy and somewhat thick. Gently fold in the fried paneer cubes, season with salt, to taste, and serve with steamed basmati rice and/or flat bread.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
