Paalak Paneer

One of my recent favorites...thoroughly enjoying it when hot!!!
Here is the recipe: (Serves 3)
- sauté half onion, 2 pieces garlic, very little ginger, half tomato, 2 green chillies
- then add washed spinach - one Trader Joes pack (like 8Oz)
- just 2 minutes and turn off, cool down and grind
- add salt, let the gravy boil with little garam masala for 5mins
- then add fresh small Paneer cubes (like 2 handful cubes)
- Boil for 5mins and turn off, serve hot for rice/rotis.

Fresh paneer:
- Boil 2 quarts milk and when it boils well, add 3 spoons lemon juice, turn off as it curdles
- If not, add more lemon juice.
- Strain the water and tie in a muslin cloth and press it hard between 2 plates.
- I put 8lb dumbbell on top of the plate
- After 2hrs move to fridge or use it.
