SPINACH WITH PANEER

Preparation Method :

• Heat some oil in a frying pan and fry the paneer pieces in batches until a light brown colour all over.
• Remove and place in a large bowl of lightly salted water. Leave for 10 minutes before draining the water off.
• Refresh the leaves with cold water. While in the sieve, mash and tease the spinach leaves to break them up. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a shallow pan over a medium heat and add the cumin seeds. When the seeds begin to sizzle, add the onion and fry until golden brown.
• Remove from the heat and add the ground spices, tomato puree and salt.
• Return to the heat and fry for about 2-3 minutes, combine the onion with the spice mixture before adding the tomatoes and fresh green chilli.
• Cook for 5 minutes to form a thick sauce. Add the spinach leaves and mash.
• Add the paneer pieces and a cup of the reserved water from the spinach. Cook for 5 minutes stirring gently.
• Add more of the cooking water if needed. Remove the green chilli, before serving.
• Serve with Lemon Rice.
