• Onions (finely chopped) - 1 large
• Butter - 1 tbsp
• Oil - 1 tsp
• Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

For Spinach puree :

• Spinach/Palak leaves - 2 bunch
• Green chillies - 4
• Garlic cloves - 5 to 6
• Ginger - 1 inch
• Salt - 1/4 tsp
• Sugar - 1/2 tsp

Instructions

For Spinach Puree :

1. Separate the palak leaves from stem. Wash thoroughly several times and roughly chop the leaves.
2. Heat a pan. Add the chopped palak leaves, salt and sugar. Mix and allow it to wilt . (This process retains the green color )
3. Once done, add garlic, ginger and green chillies. Mix once and cook until the moisture is evaporated completely.
4. Switch off the flame and allow to cool.
5. Once cooled, grind to a smooth paste adding 1/2 cup water.

For preparing the gravy :

1. Heat a heavy bottom skillet. Add butter and oil and allow the butter to melt. (Oil prevents the butter from getting burnt)
2. Add saunf and cumin seeds. Allow to splutter.
3. Add finely chopped onions and fry until golden brown.
4. Now add green peas and fry for a minute. Add all the veggies, fry for 2 minutes. Add salt, mix once. Cover and cook until the veggies are cooked (Don't over-cook the veggies. There should be a crunch in the veggies)
5. Add all the masala powders and fry until well combined.
6. Once done, add the spinach/palak puree and mix well. Add 1 cup of water and bring to boil.
7. At this point, check for seasoning. Add salt if required.
8. Now add paneer cubes and gently mix. 
9. Add thick coconut milk, mix once. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
10. Once done, granish with kasuri methi and mix. Switch off the flame.
