Steps

30 minutes

1

Firstly boil 4-5 cups of water on low medium heat. Add washed spinach leaves. Let it cook for 5-6 minutes.
2

After 5-6 minutes take the spinach leaves out and add them to the cold water.
3

Now take blanched spinach in a blender jar, add green chillies and blend it into a smooth puree, without adding water. Keep it aside.
4

Shallow fry the paneer cubes and keep them aside.
5

Heat butter in a pan on low medium flame. Add jeera and whole spices. Saute till the spices turn aromatic.
6

Add in the chopped onion and saute till it turns golden brown.
7

Now add ginger garlic paste along with tomato puree and saute for 2-3 minutes.
8

Add spinach puree and salt. Mix it well.
9

Add water and adjust the consistency as required.
10

Add fried paneer cubes, garam masala powder and kasuri methi.
11

Simmer it for 2-3 minutes.
12

Further add cream. Give it a mix.
13

Garnish with some more cream and serve hot with naan, roti or rice.
14

Tips:-
15

Add 1 tsp sugar while boiling spinach. This will help to keep its bright colour intact.
16

I have added shallow fried paneer cubes. But if you want, you can add paneer cubes as such.
17

Make sure to soak paneer cubes in hot water for 4-5 minutes before frying. This will help to keep the paneer soft and moist.
