1

Wash the spinach thoroughly and place it in a pressure cooker with a little water and salt. Cook until 2-3 whistles. Drain the spinach, reserving the water. Cool the spinach and blend it in a mixer jar with 2 green chilies and 1/2 inch ginger to make a fine paste.

Heat ghee in a pan, add cumin seeds, cardamom, and cloves to temper.
3

Add the prepared spinach paste and mix well. Cook on high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add rock salt, roasted cumin, and black pepper powder and mix.
4

Cook the spinach until the water evaporates. Add a pinch of sugar.
5

Soak the paneer in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes to soften it and enhance the flavor. Then cut into cubes.
6

Add paneer and the reserved spinach water to the spinach mixture and bring to a boil.
7

Add a little milk and cook for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Serve hot with buckwheat puris or roti.
