Palak Paneer (ndian Spinach and Paneer)
  • cooking spray
  • 1/2 pound paneer, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach
  • 1 large tomato, diced

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger root
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
