أسياخ بالاك بانير (الجبن بالسبانخ)
Indian 35 Mins Prep · 20 Mins Cook
- Place the paneer in a large bowl, cover with boiling water and allow to soak for 15 minutes while you prepare the spinach.
- Finely chop the ginger and 5 garlic cloves. Chop 2-3 chillies.
- Place 1 tbsp of ghee in a large pan and add the cumin seeds. Allow to sizzle for 30 seconds before adding the chopped ginger, garlic cloves and chillies.
- Sauté for a minute or two before adding the spinach. Cover and allow the spinach to wilt, approx. 4-5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Transfer the spinach to a blender (squeeze out any excess water and leave it in the pan), along with the rest of the ghee. Blend the spinach until smooth and creamy.
- Reduce the excess spinach water over a medium heat until approx. 2 tbsp or so remains.
- Drain the paneer cubes of their soaking liquid and thread onto skewers.
- Pour the sauce back into the pan and add the garam masala and salt. Stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, or until warmed through. Don’t cook it for too long to preserve the bright green colour.
- Place a griddle pan over a medium-high heat and brush with the olive oil.
- Grill the paneer skewers until char lines form, approx. 5 minutes a side.
- Heat 50g of ghee in a small pan.
- Slit the remaining chillies lengthways and slice the remaining garlic cloves thinly. Add to the hot ghee.
- Sauté over a medium-low heat until lightly golden and crispy.
- Serve the paneer with the palak and drizzle over the garlic, chillies and cream.
