Cuisine Type: Indian
Directions:
- Place a large saute pan on high heat. Add the canola oil and allow to get very hot, until a light
haze forms over the pan. - Once the pan is very hot, add the diced paneer and cook until golden brown, stirring regularly for 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and add the garlic, ginger, onion, turmeric, and garam masala. Continue to cook until aromatic, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes.
- Add the Tommy’s Super Greens and stir well. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring
occasionally until full heated, about 5 minutes. - Finally, add the lowfat yogurt and kosher salt (as desired). Stir together and allow the contents of your pan to return to a vigorous simmer. Continue simmering for at least 5 minutes in order to allow the flavors to fully develop.
- Remove from the heat and serve immediately, or keep in a warmer for up to 30 minutes. Serve with rice pilaf and roasted or grilled meats or fish. Delicious!
