Crunchy Palak Paneer
For the sauce
2 tablespoons ghee (or vegetable oil)
2 onions, finely chopped
a thumb-sized piece of ginger, finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 whole green chili
1 teaspoon salt
400g tin of chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon sugar
500g fresh spinach, washed
To coat the paneer
2 teaspoons garam masala
50g semolina
200g paneer, cut into square cubes
Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
a small handful of chopped fresh coriander leaves
1 teaspoon lemon juice
In a mixing bowl combine the garam masala and semolina. Into the bowl place the cubes of paneer and coat it with the masala. Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a frying pan and fry the paneer until crisp and golden.
In a saucepan, heat the ghee, then add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes until soft. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for a further minute. Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, the whole chili and the salt and cook and stir for a minute to infuse all the spices. Add the chopped tomatoes and sugar and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the spinach and 2 tablespoons water to the tomato sauce and stir in, cooking until wilted. Fold in the crunchy paneer and sprinkle over the coriander and lemon juice.
