How to make Indian Spiced Spinach Saag Paneer

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and fry the paneer cubes until they are golden brown. Remove them and set it aside.

In the same pan, add the remaining oil, cumin seeds, ginger, garlic, and green chili. Sauté until the garlic turns golden brown.

Add the finely chopped onions and let them cook until they are soft.

Add tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook this until the tomatoes are mushy.

Now add the spinach leaves and cook until they are wilted.

Blend this mixture into a smooth puree using a blender or a food processor.

Pour this puree back into the pan, add the paneer cubes, and let it simmer for around 5 minutes.

Garnish with fresh cream (optional) and serve hot with Indian bread (naan) or boiled rice.
