Method

For the palak potlis
 

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl and knead into a semi-soft dough without using water.
  2. Divide the dough into 15 equal portions and roll out each portion into a 75 mm. (3") diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
  3. Place 2 tsp of the paneer stuffing in the centre of each circle, bring the edges together and seal them to make potlis (i. e. Money bags). Keep aside.


For the coconut sauce
 

  1. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan, add the cumin seeds, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and curry leaves and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
  2. Add the ginger-green chilli paste and sauté on a medium flame for a few more seconds.
  3. Add the coconut milk, sugar and salt, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the prepared palak potlis, mix gently and cook on a medium flame for 6 to 7 minutes or till the potlis are cooked well, while stirring occasionally.
  5. Serve immediately.

I am not a huge fan of coconut milk, but i really loved this recipe. The tempering adds a nice flavour to the coconut curry that is prepared. The stuffing of the potlis is so simple and quick. It tastes delicious. When the potlis are cooked in the coconut curry, both the curry and potli blends really well.; Just an amazing way to use coconut milk.
