Hariyali Paneer Recipe | Cottage Cheese in Green Gravy | Hari Paneer Masala

                                                                  Hariyali Paneer

For the green paste -
1 cup chopped spinach
1/2 cup chopped fenugreek leaves
1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves
2 green chili's or to taste
4 cloves garlic
blanch all this for 3/4 min then puree it

Also saute the cottage cheese till light brown and keep aside.

Spice paste
1 small onion grated
cumin powder
paprika or red chili pwd
all spice or garam masala
cardamom
 ~ Mix 1 tsp each of these powders with the grated onion

Cream is added in the end to make the dish get a luscious creamy taste,but you can skip it.
I never skip cream for anything,how can any one not add in cream?

In oil or butter saute the grated onion and spice mix till light brown,then add in the cooked cottage cheese and the green paste,coat gently and salt along with 1/2 cup water and allow to simmer for 10 min covered.
After 10 min the cottage cheese will get soft and the gravy will get a bit thick.Its now time to add in the cream,just 2 tsp will do.Of course you can add more,but watch out as the gravy will turn a pale green.
Now your done.

Serve with warm bread or on top of steamed basmati rice.Enjoy !
