Smoky Palak Paneer Curry

Method

1. Start by prepping your yellow onion, garlic, fresh ginger so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the leeks in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the palak paneer and let it smoky, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the coconut milk along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with chili crisp and a final crack of pepper.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
