Mushroom Palak Paneer Rice

 

Mushroom Palak paneer is a very popular dish in my household, as everyone loves the paneer as well as the mushrooms and I like it because they are eating palak (Spinach) without fussing about it.

You can make the curry itself and serve it with  roti/paratha or make a cup of rice and mix it with the curry and serve it 

Mushroom Palak Paneer Rice


Ingredients:

  1. 2 cups basmati rice cooked
  2. 1/4 lb or about 2 cups of paneer cubed
  3. 3 cups frozen or 1 big bunch of chopped spinach
  4. 1/2 teaspoon cumin, turmeric powder
  5. 1 teaspoon salt, chilly powder, tomato paste, coriander powder
  6. 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
  7. 2 tablespoons oil
  8. 1 medium garlic chopped fine (don't grate it)
In a pan heat 1 tablespoon of oil and fry the paneer pieces for about 5 minutes. Take out the paneer pieces and take about 3 or 4 cubes and crumble them and set them all aside.
In a pan heat the remaining oil and add the cumin and fry for a couple of minutes. Now add onions and fry till they become tender. Add mushrooms and fry for 5 more minutes.
