PALAK PANEER

Recently,I have started to experiment some side dishes for Parathas/Rotis.Reason being,my husband prefers Rotis for his lunch box rather than Rice. So how long can he take the same old side dishes again and again?? I wanted to make sure he doens't get bored or regret for taking Chapathis.So my first experiment was with Palak Paneer as its ingredients were readily available at home. So here's the Menu and Make that turned out to be a scorer!!!

Ingredients

Paneer - 10 to 12 big cubes
Spinach (Palak) - 2 cups of finely chopped leaves
Onion - 1 medium sized - finely chopped
Tomato - 1 or 2
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Cumin seeds (jeera) - 1/2 tsp
Garlic - 3 to 4 cloves
Garlic - 1 small piece
Green chillies - 2 - finely chopped
Garam masala - 1/2 tsp
Fresh ground black pepper powder - 1/2 tsp (optional)
Oil to saute
Salt to taste

Method
Fry the paneer in some oil and keep aside.
Cook the spinach (palak) in boiling water, drain and grind into a paste/puree.
Add oil to a kadai, saute the onion along with cumin seeds, turmeric powder, garlic, ginger and green chilies.
Grind the tomato along with a small portion from the sauteed mixture into a puree.
Add the puree to the kadai, stir until the oil separates in the corners.
Now add the palak puree, paneer cubes, garam masala, pepper, salt and some water to cook well.
Serve along with rotis/parathas.

Try it out and let me know how it turned out!
