Palak paneer makes a healthy weeknight meal and is ready in 15 minutes with this easy Instant Pot recipe. I love this one-pot recipe to cook the spinach and then use an immersion blender to puree the sauce making cleanup super easy. Serve with steamed rice for a gluten-free meal or with hot parathas for a wholesome vegetarian meal!

Ingredients

250 gram paneer
1kg palak
2 cup of water
Half tbsp jeera
Half tbsp black pepper
Salt as per taste
3 medium-size onion
2 tbsp ghee
1 tbsp cream

Cooking Instructions

1st boiled palak once the palak changes colour slightly, drain off the blanched palak.
Transfer the blanched palak into ice-cold water. This helps to retain the bright green colour of palak.
Once the palak has cooled completely, transfer to a blender.
Blend to smooth paste without adding any water. Keep it aside.
Now in a large kadai heat 2 tsp ghee
Add jeera and saute

1/4 cup water
Salt and black pepper
