- Galumpkis
- 6-8 large leaves of swiss chard
- 8 ounces block of Paneer
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 pinch asafetida powder
- Cayenne pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
- Gravy
- 1 medium sized onion
- 1/3-1/2 cups Cashew nuts (depending upon how sweet you prefer the gravy)
- 1 clove garlic
- 2-3 small green chillies OR 1 deseeded jalapeno
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger root
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 cup 1 % or skim milk
- Using a vegetable peeler cut thin slices of paneer into a mixing bowl. Add the oil, salt, chilli powder and asafetida & toss well till the spices are evenly distributed over the paneer slices. Cover & set aside in the refrigerator for ~ 1-2 hr till the flavors have set in.
- Remove the central white colored vein of the chard leaf. Dip the leaf in scalding water for ~ 10 s till the leaf wilts (alternatively, you may steam them for ~ 30 s).
- Pat the leaf dry and place 3-4 slices of the marinaded paneer . Roll the leaf over the paneer as one would for a spring roll.
- Grind all the gravy ingredients, except for the oil, ghee, turmeric, garam masala & milk, to a paste. In a skillet, heat the ghee & oil. add the paste & cook on a low heat till the raw smell of the onion disappears. Add the turmeric and garam masala & mix well. Continue to cook on a low flame till the oil/ghee begins oozing out of the paste.
- Gradually add the milk and whisk to eliminate lumps. Cook down to a thick gravy consistency.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Pour a thin layer of the makhani gravy at the bottom of an ovenproof dish and spread evenly.
- Arrange the paneer/chard rolls seam side down in the dish.
- Pour the remaining gravy over the rolls, cover with aluminum foil with a few slits to let out steam. and place in the oven for ~ 20 minutes.
- To serve, carefully remove & place the rolls over a bed of Basmati rice. Serve with a side of fried sweet potato seasoned with lime & chaat masala.
