Method:

1. Pressure cook spinach for about 7-8 minutes (just before the first whistle). Drain and grind to a fine paste. I microwave it.
2. Grind together onion, ginger, garlic, green chillies to a fine paste.
3. Grind tomato to a fine paste.
4. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and add paneer blocks. Fry these pieces on both sides till they turn golden, and place them in a bowl of water while you prepare the gravy. I normally don't fry the paneer and use them as is.
5. Heat 2 tblsp oil. Saute onion paste till transluscent.
6. Add salt and garam masala. Stir well.
7. Add tomato puree and cook well.
8. Add paneer and cooked ground spinach. Mix well.
9. Decorate with fresh cream and serve.
