Easy Butter Paneer With Spinach Recipe
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, sliced (about 1 cup)
- 1 (3-inch) knob ginger, chopped (about 3 tablespoons)
- 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced
- Kosher salt
- 1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, preferably "fire roasted"
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup heavy cream, to taste
- 2 tablespoons crushed fenugreek leaves, toasted (optional)
- 1 bunch spinach blanched, drained, and chopped (or 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
- 1 pound paneer, diced into small cubes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, then stir in onions, ginger, and jalapeno. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and just begin to take on color, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add canned tomatoes, cinnamon, and honey. Press on tomatoes with a wooden spoon to break them apart and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened with only a little liquid poking through the tomatoes and onions, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Transfer sauce to blender (or use an immersion blender) and carefully
- puree on high speed until very smooth, about 1 minute. Wipe saucepan clean and pour sauce through a fine mesh strainer back into pot. Add salt and cream to taste, and fenugreek if using.
- Stir spinach into sauce, then fold in paneer, taking care not to break up the cubes of cheese. Let spinach and paneer warm through for 5 minutes. Stir in half of cilantro, sprinkle with remaining cilantro, and serve.
