  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and transfer to cold water to stop cooking. Blend into a smooth puree.

  2. 2

    Cook the Base

    In a pan, heat oil or ghee over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Stir in ginger-garlic paste and chopped tomato, cooking until the tomato softens.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the spinach puree to the pan, followed by turmeric powder, salt, and green chili. Cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    Add Paneer and Cream

    Cut paneer into cubes and add them to the spinach mixture. Stir in the cream and garam masala. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the paneer is heated through.
