What type of Spinach have I used for Kashmiri Palak Curry: Instant Pot Spinach?


I have used fresh baby spinach. Can I use regular spinach too? Certainly! However, using baby spinach eliminates the step of chopping the spinach leaves. I have just thrown in spinach in the IP and blended it later. If you are using regular spinach, I recommend chopping the leaves.

How to Make Kashmiri Palak Curry: Instant Pot Spinach?

This easy Kashmiri Palak Curry: Instant Pot Spinach takes under 15 minutes from start to finish. Here’s how to make it:

Firstly, rinse the baby spinach well in cold water. There is no need to chop it. We will blend it later. Additionally, you can use regular spinach instead of baby spinach. If you don’t have an immersion blender then chop the spinach finely, while using regular spinach.

Secondly, select sauté on the Instant Pot. Thirdly, add in oil to the pot. Further, add in asafoetida.

 

Next in 30 seconds, add in spinach and stir well. Let the spinach sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, keep stirring intermittently. Moreover, the spinach should shrivel.

 

Subsequently add in ground fennel, ground ginger, ground cumin, Kashmiri chili powder, salt and 1/2 cup water. Stir well.

Open the lid and add using an immersion blender coarsely blend the spinach for a few seconds. Also, don’t blend it super fine. It needs to have some texture. If you don’t have an immersion blender  you can use a potato masher or the back of a ladle.

Furthermore, add in the serrano peppers. This recipe calls for the dish to be slightly flowy. If you want it too less watery you can select sauté and the water evaporate for a few minutes.

Finally, transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy with steamed rice or roti.
