Simple Spinach Paneer Curry
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 3 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
  • 2 cups cubed paneer
Instructions
1
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan over a moderate temperature; cook the onion in hot oil until it starts to soften, approximately 5 minutes. Add garlic, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, red pepper flakes, curry powder, cumin, and salt; cook and stir until the mixture smells pleasant, around 1 minute.
2
Combine spinach, tomatoes, water, and ginger with the onion mixture; let it simmer for a longer period of time, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool down slightly, roughly 5 minutes.
3
Transfer the spinach mixture to a food processor and blend until it becomes smooth. Set aside for further use.
4
Heat the remaining amount of olive oil in the same pan over a moderate temperature; cook the paneer in hot oil until it turns lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in the puréed spinach mixture and cook until it reaches a heated state, around 3 to 5 minutes.
