How to make Lehsun Palak Paneer?
Boil water with a pinch of salt. Add spinach, green garlic and green chillies. Blanch for 1 minute only then immediately transfer to ice-cold water to lock in the bright green colour then drain and blend into a smooth puree.
Lightly fry paneer cubes until soft golden. Soak in warm water for 5 minutes so they stay soft in gravy.
Heat oil in a kadhai and add dry red chillies and cumin seeds. When they crackle, add sliced garlic and saute until fragrant and lightly golden.
Now sprinkle BMC Curry Powder into the oil and garlic. This helps release deep flavours and gives the gravy a warm base.
Pour the spinach puree into the kadhai and add ghee for richness. Season with salt and a pinch of sugar and next add water as needed.
Stir in BMC Kitchen King Masala at this stage. This masala gives the gravy body and enhances the aroma beautifully.
Cook the mixture on low heat for 3-4 minutes.
Add the paneer cubes to the gravy. Mix gently so they absorb the flavours.Add chopped tomato and cook until it softens.
Now add BMC Garam Masala for the final layer of aroma and warmth.
Heat ghee in a small pan and add sliced garlic and one dry chilli. Allow it to turn golden, then pour the sizzling tadka over the curry. Garnish with fresh cream and coriander.
