Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Paneer

Cut the paneer into bite-sized cubes and lightly fry them in a pan with a little oil until golden brown. Set aside.

2

Cook the Spinach Masala

In the same pan, add more oil if necessary and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili; sauté for a few more minutes.

3

Add Tomatoes and Spices

Add the pureed tomato to the pan and cook until it thickens. Then add ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and salt to taste.

4

Incorporate Spinach and Cream

Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in the heavy cream, sliced almonds, and sultanas. Let it simmer for a few minutes.

5

Combine Paneer

Gently fold in the fried paneer cubes and simmer for another 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

6

Make the Fry Bread

In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water until a soft dough forms. Divide into small balls and roll them out. Fry until golden on both sides.

7

Serve

Serve the saag paneer hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, alongside the chili fry bread.
