Jiffy Spinach & Cheese, Palak Paneer variant

by Mala D

A tasty variation on palak paneer. If you are tired of having the same curry or have almost the same ingredients but don't want the hassle of long preparation, try this.

Ingredients:

Fresh spinach bunch: 500 gms
Cheese (paneer): 250 gms
One medium-size onion
One medium-size tomato
5-6 flakes of garlic
3-4 table spoons of refined oil
Turmeric powder 1 tsp
Red chilly powder 2 tsp
A pinch of sugar
Salt to taste
Method:
Thoroughly wash spinach leaves & chop them finely. Finely chop onion & tomato. Grate  the paneer. Heat oil in a pan & add the roughly chopped garlic flakes. Add onion & toss them. Fry well & then add chopped spinach. Stir & cook for3-4 minutes. Now add the chopped tomatos. Cook for a while & then add the spices. Add sugar(optional) if the taste is a bit sour. Cover & cook till oil floats to the top. Now add grated paneer & mix well. Cook till it's well incorporated & the curry is a bit runny.
Enjoy it hot with rice!
