Directions
# Cook frozen Spinach with 1/2 cup Water in a microwave safe dish for 7-8 minutes stirring in between.
# Blend cooked Spinach to desired texture (avoid over-blending).
# Heat 1 tbsp Oil in a medium non-stick pan on high heat.
# Once Oil is hot, add cumin seeds, and let it sizzle, then add in the minced Onions, stir, cover and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
# Add in the Ginger and Garlic and mix. Cook for another 4-5 minutes.
# Add in the Tomates (you can either add fresh tomatoes which are pureed or u can add a can of diced tomatoes which are pureed) cover and cook till the oil seperates from the mixture.
# Keep stirring frequently as the Masala (Onion, Tomato, Ginger & Garlic mixture) tends to burn very fast.
# While the Masala is cooking, cube the paneer to desired size…1/2″ cubes work well.
# In a non-stick frying pan, heat the remaining 1 tbsp Oil.
# Once Oil is hot, add in the paneer cubes and let them cook till they are golden brown on all sides.
# Remove from the pan into a plate with paper towel to soak the excess oil.
# In a couple of minutes, pour the Paneer into a bowl of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
# Meanwhile, once the Masala is prepared, add in the mashed Spinach.
# Mix and add the Garam Masala, Coriander Powder, Salt, Chili Powder & Turmeric Powder.

# Add in the desired amount of Cream and /or Milk. Mix and cook for another few minutes.
