Instructions
- Cook the spinach in 2 tsp of water for about 5 minutes until the spinach has completely wilted.
- Drain the spinach into a sieve over a bowl and press the water out of the spinach with the back of a spoon. Keep the spinach water and chop the spinach coarsely.
- Heat the ghee in a pan and stir-fry the garlic & ginger paste and the spinach for about 5 minutes until all the water has been driven off.
- Add in the spinach juice, all the spices, and 250 ml (1 cup) of water. Boil gently until the volume has reduced by about one half.
- Meanwhile fry the paneer in oil until the cubes become golden brown. Place the fried paneer in cold water to help soften the surface.
- Once the spinach masala has reduced by one half, add in the paneer and allow to cook gently until the spinach has a thick, creamy consistency.
- Season with black pepper and the black cumin seeds.
