Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Ingredients

    Wash the spinach thoroughly under running water. Chop it roughly and set aside. If using chicken, cut it into bite-sized pieces; if using paneer or tofu, cut into cubes.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Protein

    In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Add Spices

    Add the cumin seeds, turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt to the pan. Mix well and cook for 1 minute to release the flavors.

  3. 4

    Add Protein

    Add your chosen protein (chicken, paneer, or tofu) to the pan. Stir to coat the protein in the spice mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes until cooked through (chicken should no longer be pink, and paneer/tofu should be heated).

  4. 5

    Add Spinach

    Once the protein is cooked, add the chopped spinach to the pan. Pour in the water and stir. Cover the pan and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the spinach wilts and is fully cooked.

  5. 6

    Final Adjustments

    Check for seasoning and adjust salt if necessary. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water to reach your desired consistency.
