Default Palak-Paneer-Tomato Bake - this is an eternally favourite combination !

Palak - 2 bunches

Paneer - 1 cup ( grated)

Onions - 2, medium, chopped

Green chillies - 2, finely chopped

For sauce:

Red bright tomatoes - 4, 5

Red chilli powder - 1 tsp

Salt, sugar

Oil - 2 tsp + 2 tsp

Butter - 2 tsp

Take out the palak leaves, clean & wash them.

Boil plenty of water in a veesel, drop the drained leaves & switch off.

After 10 mts, drain & grind the drained leaves to a paste.

Heat 2 tsp oil & lightly fry half the chopped onions & green chillies.

Then add the cornflour, & fry for a few secs.

Now add palak paste & salt.

When the mass thickens, remove & spread at the bottom of a casserole.

Over that, spread the mixture of grated paneer ( reserving some for topping )mixed with boied vegetables.
