• 份量: 4 servings
• 活動時間: 5 minutes
• 總時間: 15 minutes

食材

15 raw cashews (**)

¼ cup milk

2 tablespoons ghee

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon ginger grated

1 teaspoon garlic minced

1 to 2 teaspoon hot green chili (minced)

1 medium yellow onion (chopped fine)

1 lb spinach (baby spinach works the best, or use chopped frozen)

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup water

2 cups paneer (cubed)

1 teaspoon garam masala

Cayenne pepper

Lemon Juice

步驟

Add cashews to milk and blend together to make a smooth paste. Keep aside. Note: Double up milk and cashews if your blender blades are not low and if the paste does not turn out smooth. Making a larger portion can help with bigger blender jars and you can freeze the extra for next time.

Turn the Instant Pot to saute mode and heat ghee. Add cumin seeds, ginger, garlic, and green chili. Saute for a minute. Add onions and cook for 2 minutes stirring a few times. Add spinach, salt, and water. Close the Instant Pot with pressure valve to sealing.

For frozen spinach - Pressure cook on (Hi) for 1 minute

For fresh spinach - Pressure cook on (Hi) for 0 minute

Quick-release and turn off the Instant Pot

Let the spinach mixture sit for 5–10 minutes so it’s hot but not steaming.

(This prevents pressure buildup inside the blender and keeps the spinach color vivid.)

Add ½ cup of water(optional) and blend to make a smooth paste using a blender.

Add cashew paste, garam masala, a pinch of cayenne pepper, a splash of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and paneer. Gently stir everything together and cook on sauté mode for 2 minutes or until heated through.

Serve hot with rice or parathas. For a low carb option serve with caulilfower rice

筆記

Quick-release as soon as the pressure cooking cycle completes

Turn off the keep warm button as you do the quick release

Make sure that the Instant Pot is turned off as you are pureeing with the blender. Take the inside pot out on a hot plate while pureeing. As you may need to tilt the pot to avoid splattering

Return the inner pot back to the Instant Pot housing, and add cashew paste, garam masala, and paneer. Cook on sauté for 1 to 2 minutes only or until the gravy comes to a gentle boil

Turn off the Instant Pot and take the inner pot out and keep it on a hot plate to avoid overcooking the spinach

Also:

If you wash the fresh spinach, remember to pat dry any excess moisture
