  • About

Paneer is an Indian fresh curd cheese traditionally served with spinach or peas, though it may also be paired with spring greens or Swiss chard.

Ingredients

  • about 450 g/ 1 lb spinach, spring greens or swiss chard leaves
  • salt

Method

Blanch the leaves in rapidly boiling salted water for 1 minute, refresh in cold water and drain in a colander.

Peel and chop the ginger and put into a food processor with half the garlic, the chillies and 3½ tablespoons of water. Blitz to a purée.

Cut the paneer into bite-sized piece
