What you'll need

  • 1 lb palak paneer
  • 1 cup yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic-ginger paste
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 cup turmeric
  • 1 tbsp garam masala
  • 2 tsp fresh cilantro
  • to taste flaky salt
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the palak paneer dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the palak paneer, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
