Simple Spinach Curry Palak Paneer (30 minutes)

Today I have a request right up front. If the Recipe I present today is not 100% authentic Indian, then please do not hold it against me. It is simply my personal interpretation of the original Palak Paneer and is even more vegan . All joking aside, I’ve already seen several comments from readers who have asked themselves what is authentic about my recipes? Honestly, I can’t always give a blanket answer to that, because most of the time I get an original recipe and remake it exactly how I like it. In doing so, it may no longer be true to the original cuisine, but WHO CARES? The main thing is that it tastes good, is healthy and inspires many people to eat more varied food.

Indian vegan cuisine, who’s in?

Our dish today stands out especially for its intense color. The intense green owes this vegan curry the fresh Spinach from which we first together with onion, garlic and Ginger conjure up a great sauce. This is done quickly and easily in the High Speed Blender, perfect!

As a second step we need Tofu , some starch, a pan, onion, some oil, curry powder, cumin, garam masala, salt, tomato pieces and beans. Together with the spinach sauce, we boil it all down to a wonderful curry.

Finally, this super delicious dish is finished with coconut milk, lime juice, maple syrup and tamari. Tamari? Yeah right, it’s not Indian, but it goes with it and it tastes good. 30 minutes and we are ready to feast!

Ideal companion to this Curry are basmati rice, brown rice and fresh naan bread.

Here are a few tips on the side:

  • If you don’t have white beans in the house, you can also use lentils or chickpeas. Legumes ensure that you’re getting a good serving of plant-based protein and plenty of healthy fiber.
  • Instead of canned tomatoes also works passata or fresh juicy tomatoes
  • If you do not have fresh spinach in the house, you can also use frozen
  • Simply spice up nutrient content? With seeds and kernels! In addition to pepper and salt, there is now always a small selection of seeds and kernels on my table. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and hemp seeds are my absolute must haves. Simply sprinkle over the dish as a topping and voilá!
