STEPS

1. Cut the roots and boil spinach in hot water. When spinach has wilted (1 minute), add salt. Once boiled, transfer to ice water.

* Use less hot water for boiling to preserve the spinach flavor.
* When cooled with ice water, spinach green comes out beautifully.

2. When it gets cool, drain the water and process spinach in a mixer.

3. Pour water in a pot and  put it on medium heat. Then put the paneer (bite-sized pieces). Boil paneer until soft and turn off the heat.

* While paneer is boiled, let's go to Step 4.

4. Put the oil in another pan, and slowly stir-fry the materials of ☆on  low heat to make it aromatic.

* The low heat is important. Whole spice is likely to be burnt, so let's not heat the pan too much. 
* Make sure to use appropriate amount of oil . The aroma of the spice fully moves to oil and it makes curry more delicious.

5. Add onion and fry until light gold.

6. Add tomatoes and other ingredients ☆. Fry and mix in the pan.

* Spinach has gentle flavor. By adding garlic, ginger, and green chili give a contrast to taste.

7. When 6 is mixed well, added the spinach paste, salt and the "MDH garam masala".

8. Add paneer and 3 tbsp of paneer broth, then mix gently.

9. When it comes to a boil, it's ready to serve. Garnish with fresh cream and shredded ginger & Serve hot!
