Post-Op Soft Pureed Foods: Palak Paneer. Spinach with 10 gms Protein

I massively modified this recipe from http://www.amazon.co...ian slow cooker.

The original recipe calls for 2 lbs of spinach and makes so much a sleever would be eating it until they died. It's also waaaay too spicy in the original and hers is made in the crockpot. MUCH faster in pressure cooker.

Ingredients

1 lb fresh baby spinach

Peel where necessary and roughly chop:

-1 large yellow onion

-2 medium tomatoes

-5 cloves of garlic

-1 2 inch piece of ginger

-1 serrano or jalapeno chili

2 tablespoons ground cumin (grind in coffee grinder yourself or buy amongst mexican spices)

1 tsp or less cayenne pepper. Put less, you can add more later

2 tsp garam masala (can buy in most stores)

2 tsp turmeric

2 tsp Salt

1 packet fried or fresh paneer (indian grocery store, frozen section). I will also post recipe for homemade since this is good source of vegetarian high protein.

Directions

Pressure Cooker: If making in pressure cooker, dump all ingredients except paneer together and set to high pressure for 4 mins.

Crockpot: Cook on high for 3 hours. Push the spinach down once so all gets moist.

When done, use as immersion blender and mush everything up into either a very smooth puree, or leave some bits unchopped, per your diet stage.

Gently add paneer until mixed in. Serves 6
