Palak Paneer con feta (Saag Paneer)

Ingredientes

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 onions, diced
• 2 teaspoons garam masala
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 14 ounces diced tomatoes (1 can) (Or use fire-roasted tomatoes)
• 8 ounces fresh spinach
• 1 cup milk (or cream)
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 8 ounce block of feta, cubed
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
• jasmine or basmati rice, to serve (optional)
• naan, to serve (optional)

Preparación

1. 1

   Heat oil over medium heat in a large pan. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the onions, garam masala, salt, and chili flakes.

2. 2

   Cook about 5 minutes, or until the spices become fragrant.

3. 3

   Add tomatoes, and cook 2-3 more minutes.

4. 4

   Add the spinach, and cover the pan to let the spinach wilt.

5. 5

   Once the spinach wilts, use an immersion blender or basin blender to blend the onion, tomato, and spinach mixture.

6. 6

   Add the milk and turmeric. Stir.

7. 7

   Add the cubed feta, and cover the pan for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is warm.

8. 8

   Taste curry. If you prefer it sweeter (like restaurant-style curry), add the maple syrup. Add more salt if bland, or chili flakes if you want it spicier. If it's already too spicy, add a little extra milk.

9. 9

   Serve warm, with rice or naan if desired.
