Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Spinach

Wash the spinach thoroughly and chop it finely. Blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.

2

Cook the Onions

In a pan, heat the oil or ghee over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and allow them to splutter. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.

3

Add Tomatoes and Spices

Add the chopped tomato and cook until soft. Then, add the ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the oil separates from the mixture.

4

Combine Spinach and Paneer

Add the blanched spinach to the pan and mix well. Cook for about 5 minutes. Cube the paneer and gently fold it into the mixture. Add dried fenugreek leaves and mix well.

5

Final Cooking

Cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust salt and spices as needed. Serve hot with naan or rice.
