Palak paneer
Palak paneer is my favourite Indian dish at the restaurant.
I’m so happy to introduce you to my veganised version using my paneer (indian cheese) and vegan sour cream!
Ingredients
Directions
Step 1
Bring 1litre salted water to boil, remove from the heat, and throw in the washed spinach leaves. Drain and immediately transfer the leaves to a bowl of ice-cold water (this way they keep their bright green colour).
Step 2
Finely chop 2 garlic cloves and the ginger. Blend with the spinach leaves. Your palak purée is ready. Set aside.
Step 3
Finely chop the additional 3 cloves and the onion.
Step 4
In a frying pan, heat the coconut oil. Throw in the cumin and stir well until you get a foamy texture. Throw in the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for 3mn.
Step 5
Reduce to medium heat, add the tomato purée, turmeric and red chilli powder, stir well and wait until you get a simmer.
Step 6
Throw in the palak purée (spinach), stir well and cook for 6-7mn.
Step 7
Add the garam masala, the Vegant paneer and 50ml Vegant sour cream.
Step 8
Stir well and serve immediately with basmati rice and extra Vegant sour cream!
