Steps:
- Pluck only the young & tender spinach leaves and discard the stems as they may leave a bitter taste. If using baby spinach you can use the stems as well.
- Add them to a large pot of water. Rinse them well few times & drain to a colander.
- Allow the water to drain completely otherwise it will let out lot of moisture while cooking.
- Heat half tablespoon oil in a pan. Saute green chilies, cashews and spinach for 3 to 4 mins until the leaves wilt off thoroughly & raw smell of spinach has gone away. [OR another option is to blanch the palak in 4 cups of hot water with ¼ tsp salt for 2 mins. Then immerse in ice cold water. Drain completely.]
- Cool this completely. Blend this along with ¼ cup water to a smooth puree. The puree should be smooth and thick. You may add 1 to 2 tbsps more water to help in blending.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and half tablespoon oil to the same pan, Once they melt, add cinnamon, cardamoms, cloves & cumin seeds.
- When the spices begin to sizzle, add onions and fry till they turn transparent to golden.
- Next saute ginger garlic paste for 1 to 2 minutes or until you begin to smell it nice.
- Then add tomatoes with salt. Saute until they break down and turn mushy.
- Add garam masala & saute until the masala smells good. This may take 2 mins. (for a smoother curry refer notes)
- Pour ¾ cup water and cook covered until onions are completely soft. There should be some water left in the pan. (for consistency check video)
- Lower the flame, add kasuri methi and pureed spinach. Mix well and cook until it begins to bubble for about 2 to 3 mins. If the curry is too thick you may add a few tbsps of hot water.
- Avoid overcooking. Add paneer & mix well. Turn off and remove to a serving bowl. Optionally garnish with cream.
- Serve palak paneer with naan, roti or Jeera rice.

I LOVE PALAK PANEER (SPINACH AND CHEESE CURRY)
This luscious spinach and cheese dish comes from Northern India, the home of paneer, a fresh cow-milk cheese similar to ricotta. It's sold near the feta and haloumi in supermarkets, either of these two cheeses can replace paneer here, but the results wont be exactly the same. When I made this, I did use a soft feta, which melted into the spinach and gave me the most creamy rich curry you can imagine. I also upped the amount of the garam masala, to give a hotter result, and I sauteed some shrimps in garlic and butter, and served them with the curry, we enjoyed an excellent meal! The recipe is taken from Australian Womens Weekly, New Curries UPDATED to add ( thank you Peggy :) ), that previously step 2 said to add half the spinach at that step, I've changed it to say, add all the spinach.

Steps:
- To make about a pound of paneer, heat 1 gallon of milk in a large pot that allows enough space for milk to boil.
- When milk is about to boil, immediately add 4 to 5 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of vinegar (can substitute cream of tartar for lemon juice and vinegar).
- You may optionally add 1 cup of plain yogurt too.
- Be careful that milk does not boil over; lower heat if needed.
- Simmer until the milk curdles (cheese separates from clear liquid (whey)).
- Use more lemon juice or vinegar as needed.
- Turn off the heat.
- Strain the cheese in a large sieve set over a bowl and lined with a thin muslin cloth or cheesecloth.
- Mash the cheese to make it smooth.
- Let it drain.
- Note: Instead of discarding the whey, you may use it as a substitute for water in soups or dough.
- Drain it as much as possible (couple of hours) till no liquid can be squeezed out.
- Blend the cheese with hand or in a food processor to make it smooth.
- Spread it evenly, about half inch thick on a cloth on flat board lined with paper towels.
- Fold the cloth over on four sides and cover the top.
- Put more paper towels on top.
- Put a large flat-bottomed skillet filled with water on top to put pressure to drain excess liquid.
- Change paper towels if they get wet.
- After 30 to 45 minutes, when paper towels appear dry, unwrap the cheese.
- Cut paneer; into ½ to ¾" cubes (or strips) and use without frying or fry as follows.
- To fry, heat about 4 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
- Lightly brown the cubes on all sides while turning with a slotted spatula.
