Background
Saag paneer is a popular Indian dish, made with spinach. This kale paneer is based on the recipe, but instead of spinach I used kale. If you donβt want it too spicy, remove the chilli and use paprika instead. Serve it with flat bread or wrapped in dosa.
Ingredients
- For the paneer:
- 100g paneer, cut into 2cm cubes
- Β½ tsp turmeric
- Β½ tsp paprika or chilli powder
- For the kale:
- 200g Kale, trimmed
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil or melted ghee
- 1 small red onion
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 cm piece of ginger, peeled
- 2 small green chillies, finely chopped
- Β½ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp ground garam masala
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Mix the oil with the turmeric and paprika. Add some salt and pepper, then coat the paneer with the mixture.
- Finely chop the onion, garlic, chilli and ginger.
- Steam the kale over boiling water for 5 minutes, then rinse under cold water. Squeeze the water out of it, then cut it finely on a chopping board. Set aside.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the paneer cubes until golden on all sides, then remove them to a plate, lined with paper towel.
- Add the onion to the pan and sautΓ© until soft. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli and the spices and stir for 30 seconds.
- Add the chopped kale and a drop of water, then sautΓ© for a couple minutes until the kale is well coated in the spices. Return the paneer to the pan and heat through.
- Serve warm.
