Palak Paneer -- The Best

Akbar's on Broadway makes the best Palak Paneer --- I love the smooth consistency.   Our waiter cheerfully provided the recipe and we tried it with great success.
It is a bit of a fuss, but cooked spinach is yucky so this recipe is worth it.

Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh spinach --- about one big box
Sea salt
Garlic (2 cloves)
Ginger (1 inch piece)
Small onion, very finely chopped or grated
1 tsp. ground cumin
Garam masala (1 tsp each ground cinnamon, coriander, cardamon, pepper)1/2 pound paneer
Ground red chili


Instructions:
Cook the spinach for 20 minutes with a bit of salt.
Blend the spinach until smooth.
Heat the pan on medium.   Add oil.
Grate garlic and ginger and fry for a minute.
Add the onion and fry until golden brown.Add the spinach and cook for 5 minutes.   Add a little water if necessary.
Add the paneer and cook.   You can also fry the paneer until golden separately.
Remove from the pan into a bowl.
Mix oil and 1 tsp chili in the hot pan and pour over the spinach.
