Why Choose Kasoori Palak Paneer?

Ingredients You’ll Need

– 200g paneer (cubed) – 2 cups spinach (fresh or frozen) – 1 tbsp kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves) – 1 medium onion (chopped) – 1 medium tomato (pureed) – 1 tsp garlic and ginger paste – 1/2 tsp turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp garam masala – Salt to taste 1 tbsp olive oil

Pro Tip: Use Fresh Spinach

For the best flavor and texture, opt for fresh spinach. If using frozen, ensure it’s well thawed and excess water is drained.

Prepare the Spinach

Blanch the spinach leaves in hot water for 2-3 minutes. Cool and blend into a smooth paste.

Sauté the Onion & Spices

Heat oil in a pan and sauté onions until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, and garam masala. Cook for 2 minutes.

Why Kasoori Methi?

Kasoori methi adds a unique aroma and bitterness that balances the rich flavors of spinach and paneer. It’s essential for the authentic taste!

Add the Spinach & Kasoori Methi

Stir in the spinach paste and kasoori methi. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.

Add Paneer and Simmer

Add paneer cubes and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Stir gently to coat the paneer in the spinach gravy.

Perfect the Consistency

If the gravy is too thick, add a splash of water or low-fat cream to achieve the desired consistency. It should coat the paneer nicely.

Garnish & Serve

Garnish with fresh coriander. Serve with whole wheat roti or quinoa for a diabetic-friendly meal!

Pairing Suggestions

Pair this dish with low-carb sides like quinoa, brown rice, or a simple salad to keep it diabetic-friendly and balanced.
