Time 1h4m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 whole cloves
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cumin seeds
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon red chile powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
½ cup water
½ teaspoon tomato paste
2 (5 ounce) packages baby spinach
1 ½ cups cubed paneer (Indian cheese curd)
¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in cloves, salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin seeds, cinnamon, red chile powder, onion powder, and ground ginger. Cook until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir water and tomato paste into the pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer until flavors combine, about 10 minutes. Stir spinach into the pot; simmer, covered, until wilted, about 10 minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid evaporates and oil separates, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer spinach mixture carefully to a blender. Cover and hold lid down with an oven mitt; puree until smooth.
  • Pour spinach puree back into the pot. Stir in paneer and heavy cream. Cover and simmer over medium heat until paneer is heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.

This recipe was just okay. I've had better palak paneer before. I think I'll stick to my usual recipe next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my palak paneer turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This dish was a complete disaster! The spinach was overcooked, the paneer was tough, and the sauce was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The instructions were a bit confusing and the dish didn't turn out very well. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less chili pepper.
