Method

Cut paneer into small cubes (about 1/3-inch slices). Heat 1 ½ tbsp ghee or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry half the paneer cubes until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side, sprinkling a pinch of salt.

Repeat for the remaining paneer with ghee or oil. Set the fried paneer aside.

Boil water in a large saucepan. Add spinach in batches if necessary. Cook for 1 minute until wilted.

Drain the spinach and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.

Heat ghee or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute diced onion for 3 minutes until soft. Add minced ginger, garlic cloves, and the green chillies. Stir for 30 seconds.

Mix in cumin seeds, garam masala, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Stir until aromatic.

Add the blended spinach to the skillet and mix well. Squeeze in the Britannia The Laughing Cow Creamy Cheese Sachets, stirring until fully incorporated. Add tsp salt and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Fold the fried paneer into the spinach sauce. Mix gently to coat the paneer evenly. Turn off the heat.
