Notes

  1. Don't boil the spinach too much, else it may loose its colour.
  2. Use fresh paneer or store bought paneer as you like.
  3. If you are using store bought paneer, cut it into small pieces, soak it in warm water for 10 mins until needed.
  4. If you don't have cream, use milk mixed with little cornstarch for thickening. 
  5. Once you add spinach puree, don't cover the pan when cooking. Else it may lose its colour.
