Creamy Palak Paneer with Indian Flavor Co’s Chop Masala & Rojana Masala

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 200g Paneer (Cubed, Raw or Fried)
  • 2 cups Fresh Palak (Spinach)
  • 1 tsp Edible Oil
  • 1 tsp Zeera (Cumin Seeds)

Spices & Seasoning:

  • 1 tsp Dhania Powder (Coriander Powder)
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
  • ½ tsp Kitchen King Masala
  • Salt as per taste
  • 1 tbsp Indian Flavor Co’s Chop Masala
  • 2 tbsp Indian Flavor Co’s Rojana Masala

Final Touch:

  • 3-4 tbsp Fresh Cream
  • Water (as needed to adjust consistency)

Method

1. Prepare the Spinach Purée:

  • Wash the palak (spinach) thoroughly.
  • Boil the spinach for 2 minutes, then transfer it immediately into cold water to preserve its vibrant green color.
  • Once cooled, blend the spinach into a smooth purée and set aside.

2. Prepare the Base:

  • Heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan and add zeera (cumin seeds). Let them crackle.
  • Add 1 tbsp of Chop Masala and 2 tbsp of Rojana Masala to the pan, stirring well.
  • Add coriander powder (dhania) and Kashmiri red chili powder, salt asper your taste. Add 2-3 tbsp of water, cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to release their aroma.
  • Add ½ tsp of Kitchen King Masala and mix thoroughly. Cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring the spices blend well with the masala.
  • Now, add the spinach purée and cook for 5-7 minutes, letting the flavors meld together and the masalas infuse the spinach.

3. Incorporate the Paneer:

  • Add the cubed paneer (either raw or fried) and gently mix it into the spinach base.
  • Cook on a high flame for 1 minute, allowing the paneer to absorb the flavors. If the consistency is too thick, add water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

4. Make it Rich & Creamy:

  • Add 3-4 tbsp of fresh cream and stir well to create a rich, creamy texture.
  • Let it simmer for another minute, allowing the cream to blend in.

5. Garnish & Serve:

  • Drizzle a little extra cream on top for garnish before serving.
  • Serve hot with naan, roti, or jeera rice for a complete meal.
