Total Calories: 1,364

Ingredients

8 ounces (1 recipe) Paneer Cheese or store-bought
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground fenugreek seeds
1 large tomato, coarsely chopped
1 clove fresh garlic (large), minced
1 fresh green chili pepper, such as serrano, minced with seeds
2 bunches fresh spinach (about 1 pound), trimmed of roots only, washed well, and coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon Garam Masala
3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Directions:

1. Prepare the paneer cheese and crumble it coarsely. Heat the oil in a large nonstick wok or saucepan over medium-high heat and add the cumin, mustard seeds, and fenugreek they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. Quickly add the tomato, garlic, and chili pepper and cook, stirring, about 1 minute.

2. Add the spinach. Cover the pan and cook, stirring once or twice until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the paneer cheese, coriander, garam masala, and salt and cook over medium heat, uncovered, stirring as needed, until all the juices evaporate and the dish is quite dry, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with freshly ground black pepper, and serve.
