Saag Paneer

[Guest guest]

I couldn't find a recipe for Saag Paneer in a slow cooker on the web, so I made

one up. This one does not have all of the texture of authentic Saag Paneer, nor

does it use actual paneer. I loved it though. If you have paneer, use it

instead of the tofu, I'm sure it would add to the flavor.

 

Saag Paneer

 

2 16-oz pkgs frozen chopped spinach, thawed

1/2 lg onion, chopped

1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes

1 14 oz pkg extra firm tofu

1/2 tbsp cumin seeds

1 tsp cardamom seeds

3 cloves, crushed

1/2 tsp ginger

1/2 tbsp mustard seeds

1 tbsp hot indian chili powder

1 tbsp turmeric

1/2 tbsp garam masala

1/2 cup milk or cream

Pepper and salt

 

Chop tofu into squares about 1/2 & #8243; – 1 & #8243; square. Put first four

ingredients in slow cooker, mix. Take next five spices and fry in a little oil

over low-med to med heat about 10 minutes, should be slightly browned but not

burnt and give off a pleasing odour. Add to slow cooker, trying to get spice

into cooker without too much of the oil. Mix. Add remaining three spices and

milk. Mix. Cook on low about 6 hours. Serve, adding pepper and salt to taste
