Palak Paneer

Preparation

• Puree the onions and ginger in a blender.

• Wash spinach and microwave in a large container with 1 cup of water for 7 minutes.

• Blend into a puree after the spinach is cooked. Add more water if needed to ensure a gravy consistency.

• Add the spinach to the onion gravy.
