Palak Paneer has been one of our family's recent favorite. Started out to experiment with colors in the recipe,I thought of adding sweet corn to the dish as Corn and Spinach goes very well in Pasta recipes.The outcome was amazing.The texture of corn and the creamy taste of the palak gravy gave a new lift to the taste.
Its an amazing combo that goes very well with all Indian breads,rice,jeera pulao and what not.Low in calories and with added health benefits ,do try out this flavorful delight and enjoy a healthy and sumptuous meal :)
Ingredients:
Spinach (Palak) 1 bunch
Onions 1 no very finely chopped
Tomatoes 2 nos pureed
Jeera
Red chilli powder 1 tsp
Garam masala1 tsp
Fresh cream 3 to 4 tsp/ to decorate (I have used Amul low fat fresh cream)
Boiled sweet corn 1/4 cup
Paneer cubes 1/4 cup lightly toasted or directly drop in the recipe as you may prefer.
Lemon juice- 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil as required
To grind:
Ginger 1 inch piece
Garlic 3 nos
Green chillies 1 to 2 as per taste
Coriander seeds- crushed slightly (Trust me ! This ingredient gives a whole new flavor to this recipe)
Method:
Step 1: First blanch the spinach leaves by boiling them after thorough cleaning.Let it boil till cooked.Add minimal water to cook and add a pinch of sugar to retain the green colour.After 5 mins switch off the flame.Filter the water and preserve it for cooking.Let the greens cool a while.
Step 2: Once cooled grind all the ingredients under To grind along with palak leaves.
Step 3:In a kadai,pour oil,splutter jeera,fry the onions till cooked by adding little salt and add the tomato puree.Let it cook till raw smell goes.Add red chilli powder and give it a mix.Now add the ground green paste and let it boil for 3 to 4 mins.Now add in the corn and panner and boil for a couple more minutes.
Note:Over boiling of greens is not advisable.
Step 4.Finally top it off with garam masala,fresh cream and a little of crushed coriander seeds and lemon juice. Adjust salt.
