How has your weekend been thus far? I made my 20 minute Saag Paneer which turned out excellent and a repeat of the whole wheat cheese pizza from the TJ's pizza dough for K2. I went for a 90 minutes Yoga class and my muscles are still complaining...
Here is a recipe for my quick cooking Saag Paneer. Try it and let me know if it worked for you -
Stuff Needed
- 1 LB Clamshell Organic Spinach
- 200 grams Paneer (Indian Cheese available in any indian store)
- 1/4 Carton TJ's Organic Tomato Soup
- 1 tablespoon Hot Sauce ( I used the really hot hot sauce from "Curry Up Now"...what can I say I hate wasting)
- 1 small red onion, little knob of ginger and 4 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
(B) Cut the Paneer into small cubes, put on a baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt and chaat masala. Sprayed with Canola Oil and broiled in the oven for 5 minutes till golden brown.
(C) Fry the onions, ginger and garlic in minimal oil. You decide how much. I added maybe 1/4 tsp.
(D) Blend the wilted spinach with the tomato soup, hot sauce, garam masala and the fried Onion, Garlic, Ginger.
(E) Add the blended mix to the pan and simmer on low for 5 minutes. Now add in the broiled paneer and simmer for another 5 minutes. Squeeze in the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Add the salt to your taste.
Enjoy the dish with a warm whole wheat naan or some hot brown rice. This dish is rich in protiens (from the paneer), iron (from the spinach) and has high fiber content.
I will now stop flogging myself over "too much TV time" for the young un and focus on enjoying the rest of my Sunday.
