• 400g spinach
• 250g paneer, cubed
• 1 onion + 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 1 tsp cumin seeds + ½ tsp garam masala + salt
• 2 tbsp butter + 2 tbsp cream

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Boil the spinach 1 minute, then dunk it in cold water. This one trick keeps your curry bright green instead of army green.
2. Blend it into a rough purée — a little texture is good.
3. Fry cumin in butter, add onion for 5 min, then ginger-garlic, then tomatoes until soft.
4. Pour in the spinach and simmer just 3 min. Short is the point — long boiling steals the colour back.
5. Add the paneer cubes and warm them through for 2 min. Swirl in the cream.
6. Squeeze of lemon, done. Scoop it up with naan, roti or rice — it loves them all equally.
