Ingredients

  • 2 Whole Tomatoes sliced
  • 1 Inch Ginger minced
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 Tbsp Chili powder
  • 2 Tsp Cumin
  • 2 Tsp Salt
  • 8 Ounces Paneer cubed
  • 2 Whole Jalapenos with seeds small dice
  • 2 Tbsp Olive oil divided
  • 8 Ounces Spinach chopped in a food processor

Instructions

  1. Take the spinach and chop in your food processor using the plastic blade. Set aside.

    Begin by heating 1 tbsp of the oil in your wok on high heat. Once simmering, add in the paneer. Stir and flip so most sides of the paneer get crisp. Remove from wok and drain.

    Add the remaining oil and once hot, add in the sliced tomatoes. After 5 minutes when they have broken down, add in the water, jalapenos and spices. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add in the spinach and cook for 1 minute. Finish by adding in the crisp paneer. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes to bring the paneer back to temperature.

    Serve with white rice. Enjoy!
