To make Palak a fine paste add it to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes.

Now remove the spinach and blend it to a nice paste.
Add oil temper with Whole garam masala, cumin seeds & garlic.
Now saute it with onion & little salt
(Dont add the entire salt, add only little.Bcoz small quantity of salt makes moisture to come out of onion and it would cook fast)
Once they are brown add ginger garlic paste and a pinch of turmeric saute well.
Now add tomato, corinader powder, chilly powder, fenugreek leaves powder, green chillies, remaining salt and cook in a medium flame until the tomato is fully mashed.
(If u have fenugreek leaves place them in ur arms and mash them to powder)
Add the palak paste and saute it until the oil oozes out and u see the traces of oil on the top.
Add the Paneer and let it simmer for few minutes.
(If u wann  to make it more richer add whiped cream along with Paneer at this stage)Hint: U will have  nice dark spinach colour only if u cook it right and lid open all the time.
