Ingredients<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Spinach \u2014 200 g
* Paneer \u2014 100 g
* Onion \u2014 20 g
* Butter \u2014 10 g
* Olive oil \u2014 5 g
* Garlic \u2014 3 cloves
* Ginger \u2014 \u00bd inch
* Green chilli \u2014 1
* Salt \u2014 to taste
* Pepper \u2014 to taste
* Water \u2014 as required
* Ice water \u2014 for blanching<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Blanch & Prepare the Spinach<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spinach and submerge the leaves in the boiling water. Blanch for approximately 30 seconds, until the spinach turns bright green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately transfer the spinach to ice water. Leave for 30\u201360 seconds, then drain well, gently pressing out the excess water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, boil the onion, garlic, ginger and green chilli in a small pan. Blend them together with the blanched spinach until smooth and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Make the Soup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat the butter and olive oil in a pan over medium heat, allowing the butter to melt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the spinach pur\u00e9e and bring it to a gentle boil. Add water as required to reach your preferred soup consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, blend the paneer with a little water until smooth and creamy. Keep 1\u20132 spoonfuls of the paneer cream aside for finishing the soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the remaining paneer cream to the spinach soup and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve hot, finished with the reserved paneer cream on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ipshita\u2019s Note<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of using regular cream, I blend paneer with a little water until beautifully smooth and creamy. It gives the soup richness and body while adding protein at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t overcook the spinach while blanching. The quick blanch followed immediately by ice water helps retain that beautiful bright green colour.check if everything matches the card <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
