Cooking time :

30 minutes

250 g

kitchen king masala (optional)

1 tsp

red chilli powder (Or green chilli paste as per spice level needed)

1/2 tsp

1/2 tsp

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Heat a tsp of oil in a pan. Add the paneer cubes. Fry them till golden on both sides. Remove them in a plate and keep aside.

* Step 2

In a frying pan heat one tbsp oil and one tbsp ghee. When the oil and ghee mixture is heated, add bay leaf and cumin seed. Once the seeds crackle, add ginger garlic paste. Saute the ginger garlic paste for a minute or till it softens and the raw aroma of garlic and ginger is gone.

* Step 3

Add the grated onion and saute. Saute till the onion gets translucent and golden brown. Add the grated tomato and mix well.

* Step 4

Once the tomato softens add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander cumin powder, garam masala, salt, and kitchen king masala. Mix well all spices and saute till the mixture leaves oil from the edges. Keep on adding little water to avoid the spices to get burnt and cook till the mixture leaves oil.

* Step 5

Add kasuri methi crushed between palms and mix well. Now add the blanched and chopped spinach. Mix well.

* Step 6

Remove the prepared spinach mixture in a bowl and with the help of a stick blender, crush into a coarse mixture. The saag is ready and keep it aside.

* Step 7

Just before serving, heat the remaining oil and ghee in the pan.. Add cumin seeds and chopped garlic. (since I did not had fresh garlic, I have used garlic powder). Add the prepared saag and saute.
