Ingredients:
- 2 cloves
- 1 cardamom
- 1 tbsp light olive oil
- Half onion (150g), chopped
- 1 plum tomato (120g), chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1-2 small green chili, deseeded and chopped, as spicy as desired
- 1 tsp chopped ginger
- 250g baby spinach leaves, washed
- 2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp salt as needed
- Turmeric Cauli Rice
- 500g Cauliflower, riced in a food processor or box grater
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder
- Salt as needed
Method:
Spinach Curry
-
- Dry fry the cloves and cardamom for a minute to help release the flavor.
- Add in the onion with the olive oil and saute until translucent. Then add in the garlic, chili and ginger.
- Add the tomato and saute on low heat until the tomato is broken up and softened, 3-5 minutes.
- Next add the spinach and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Finally, add the stock and garam masala and bring to a boil. Then simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- Blend the spinach curry on high for 1 minute. Add the salt as needed.
- In a separate frying pan, heat the oil and lightly pan fry the paneer cheese on medium heat with a sprinkle of cumin and salt. This will heat through the paneer cheese and give a hint of browning. Once heated through, plate the cheese cubes and pour over spinach curry sauce. Serve with basmati rice or our Turmeric Cauli Rice.
Turmeric Cauli Rice
-
- Heat the oil and turmeric in a skillet on medium heat until simmering.
- Add the riced cauliflower and season with salt. Toss to coat and steam fry for 1-2 minutes until just softened but still with a bite.
