Palak Paneer

This is neither east indian or manglorean ....its my own creation...This is a common dish we find in many places but everybody has a version to it...and so does mine....What makes mine different is that its completely easy and user friendly....lol

Ingredients:
1 bunch pf palak(spinach)
1 big onion
1 tomato
2 chillies
10-12 flakes of garlic
Jeera,tumeric, a lil kasuri methi, 
1 small katori malai =cream(use the fresh cream that comes out when you boil milk....i usually collect it n use it as cream)
garam masala
Paneer around 200 gms( * i make it at home by- just boiling milk may be a litre or lil less, then squeezing 1/2 or 1 lime in the boiled milk, strain and just gently keep in a hankerchief under some weight ususally  i use a bottle of water and then refriegerate with the hankerchief only in a closed dabba )
salt as per taste buds
n a pinch of sugar


  1.  Boil palak in water for 5 min ...strain leave it to cool and grind to fine paste
  2. Chop onion and grind to paste
  3. Chop tomato and grind to paste with 2 chillies
  4. Chop garlic very fine
  5. Take a vessel, heat oil, add jeera, and onion paste, garlic, tomato paste and haldi
  6. Let it cook till the garlic is cooked.
  7. Add the palak paste, let it cook.
