Directions

Cut Paneer into small cubes, fry them until slightly brown in 2 tbs oil. Keep aside (Using fried frozen paneer cubes is also a good option).

Wash and chop spinach, cilantro, mint, methi (if fresh methi is not available, you can use 3 tbs of dried methi leaves), green chillies, onions and grind them. Also add yogurt and a little water if needed. Grind into a fine paste.

Heat 3 tbs oil in a deep skillet. Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter. Add cumin seeds and then add the ground mixture (saag). Stir well and cover with lid for 2 minutes.

Add the fried paneer cubes, dhaniya powder, garam masala powder, salt and chilly powder. Mix well. Cook until the gravy thickens or reaches desired consistency (approx 5 -7 minutes of cooking).

Garnish with fresh cream.

Serve Hot with Indian Bread.
