Boil Spinach (Palak)

Pluck the tender and young leaves of the spinach and discard the stem, collect the leaves in a large bowl. To clean, wash them using a strainer and let the water drain completely.
Transfer clean spinach leaves to pressure cooker. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 cup of water. Boil it for 3 whistles on high heat. Turn off the gas and allow the cooker to release all the pressure automatically.
When all the pressure is released, transfer the boiled leaves to a blender. Do not add water to it.
Blend the leaves to make a smooth puree. If the puree is too thick or if you are facing problems in blending then add some water. Keep the puree aside for later use.

Tempering

Finely chop onion, tomato and garlic and grate ginger. Cut the paneer into about 1 inch cubes.
Heat 2 tablespoon of ghee or unsalted butter in a pan. When the ghee gets hot, add bayleaf, black pepper, cloves, cumin, chopped ginger, garlic and green chillies, stir well and fry for a minute.
Add the onion and fry it until the onion becomes translucent, stirring occasionally.
Add turmeric powder, asafoetida, coriander powder, red chilli powder, kitchen king, chaat masala, garam masala and stir well. Fry it for a minute and add dried fenugreek leaves and stir.
