The dish looks very appetizing due to the combination of its natural green and white colors of the spinach and paneer.

Do not over blend otherwise you may end up with spinach juice. In a large pan over medium-medium heat, add about 1 tbsp of the oil add whole garam masala (cardamom, clove and cinnamon), cumin seeds, chopped garlic and onions and sauté till the onions turn a golden color.

Add little salt and mix. Once the onions turn brown add ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder and mix. Add chopped tomatoes and mix well. Allow cooking on medium flame till the tomatoes are mashed completely. Add cumin powder, coriander powder, chilli powder, crushed fenugreek leaves (kasoori methi), chopped green chillies and mix.

Add the palak puree and cook well till it releases oil. Lastly add the paneer cubes and little freshly grated nutmeg and mix well. Add cream to give extra richness and taste to the dish (cream can be optional for dieters). The palak paneer is ready. Serve with fresh rotis and fragnant Basmati rice.
