Ingredients

• 400 g Paneer
• 500 g Spinach
• 3 tbsp Ghee
• 1 large Onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 2 Green chilies
• 1 tsp Cumin seeds
• 1 tsp Coriander powder
• 1 tsp Garam masala
• 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Cut the paneer into cubes. Heat 1 tbsp of ghee in a large pan over medium heat and lightly fry the paneer cubes until golden on all sides. Remove from pan and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pan, add 2 tbsp of ghee and add the cumin seeds. Once they start to splutter, add chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté until the onions are golden brown.

Step 3

Add the coriander powder, garam masala, and turmeric powder to the pan. Stir and cook for another minute until the spices are fragrant.

Step 4

Add the spinach to the pan along with 1 cup of water and salt. Cover and let it cook for about 10 minutes or until the spinach is completely wilted.

Step 5

Transfer the spinach mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Use caution while blending as the mixture will be hot.

Step 6

Return the spinach puree to the pan over medium heat. Add the fried paneer cubes and the heavy cream. Mix well and simmer for another 10 minutes.

Step 7

Adjust the salt if necessary and stir in the lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with additional cream or paneer crumbles if desired.
