Spinach paneer is a favorite recipe in my home. I often try different variations, and today I made it a little differently by grilling the spinach instead of frying it. This gives it a great flavor and makes it a bit unique compared to regular spinach paneer. I also made it without using onion or garlic. You should definitely try it once, and if you like my recipe, please share your feedback with me!

Cooking Instructions

20 minutes
  1. 1

    Remove the stems from the spinach, wash thoroughly, and clean well.

  2. 2

    In a deep pan, bring water to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon sugar, then add the tomatoes, ginger, and green chilies. Cover and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the cleaned spinach to the hot water. Let it sit for 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove the tomatoes, green chilies, and ginger. Take out the spinach as well. Once slightly cooled, blend the tomatoes, chilies, and ginger into a paste. Separately, blend the spinach into a paste.

  4. 4

    Cut the paneer into thick cubes. Add a pinch of turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder, a pinch of garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves, salt, and 1 teaspoon mustard oil. Mix well and cover for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Heat a grill pan and add a little butter. Grill the paneer cubes until golden.

  6. 6

    In a deep pan, heat 2 teaspoons oil and 1 teaspoon butter. Once hot, add cumin seeds and bay leaf. Sauté for 30 seconds, then add 1 teaspoon chickpea flour and roast until golden.

  7. 7

    Add all the dry spices and sauté for a few seconds. Add the tomato, green chili, and ginger paste. Cook until the oil separates from the masala.

  8. 8

    Add the spinach paste and mix well. Add water as needed to get your desired gravy consistency. Add salt and garam masala to taste, and cook for 5 minutes.

  9. 9

    Turn off the heat, add 1 teaspoon butter, and mix into the spinach gravy. You can add the grilled paneer at this stage, but I prefer to assemble the spinach and paneer while serving.

  10. 10

    Pour the spinach gravy onto a serving plate and garnish with the grilled paneer cubes. Serve hot with roti or rice.
