Cottage cheese in spinach gravy

 This famous dish is served in most restaurants as palak paneer. It is high on calcium and low on calories. A 100 gram of spinach provides just 23 calories and the same quantity of low fat cottage cheese provides 71 calories. This mildly spiced gravy goes well with flat breads.

Ingredients:
Low fat cottage cheese -100gm
Spinach greens -200gms
Green chillies -2 to 3
Cumin seeds -1tsp
Coriander leaves -1/2cup
 Finely chopped onion -1cup
Salt and oil -as required

Method:
Toast the cottage cheese on both sides in little oil. Cut it into small cubes. Keep it aside.
Wash and chop the spinach. Add salt and green chillies and cook in 1 cup of water.
Cool and puree it along with the chopped coriander leaves. Keep it aside.
In a frying pan, heat little oil and fry the cumin seeds. Then, add the chopped onions and fry. When the onions become translucent add the pureed spinach and cottage cheese. Simmer for few seconds.

Note: Chopped garlic can also added along with onions to give that restaurant flavour.
