Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup ghee (clarified butter)
  • 1 bulb garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted cumin seed
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 (3 inch) piece ginger, peeled and minced
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup water, or as needed
  • 1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 1 pound paneer, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala

Directions

  1. Melt ghee in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in garlic and cumin seed; cook until the garlic softens, about 3 minutes. Add tomato paste, ginger, 1 teaspoon garam masala, salt, onion, and water. Increase heat to medium, and stir until the tomato paste dissolves. Simmer slowly for 1 hour, adding water as needed to maintain a sauce-like consistency.
  2. Stir in spinach and cook until hot, about 5 minutes. Add paneer, and allow to cook an additional 5 minutes, or until hot. Pour into a serving dish and sprinkle with cilantro and remaining garam masala.
