Method -
Add spinach in a bowl of water and wash it well 2-3 times or until water comes clean
Boil some water in a pan and add all the washed spinach in it for blanching
Blanch the spinach in boiling water only for 20-30 seconds
Keep the bowl of ice cold water ready and immediately dunk the strained spinach into it
When blanched, transfer the spinach into a blender
Add half inch ginger and few green chillis
Also add a handful of fresh coriander leaves with its stems, coriander stems give a very good and fresh flavour
Blend it smooth into a puree, if you think it is very dry you can add 1 or 2 ice cubes while blending
Now heat a pan or a kadhai and add some oil
Add the diced cubes of cottage cheese into oil and let them fry until it gets some color in it
When brown strain them out carefully
Repeat the process with all the cottage cheese as shown
After frying the cottage cheese, keep it aside
Heat a skillet or same kadhai and add the same leftover oil in it
When the oil is hot, add few whole spices like bay leaf, black cardamom, cloves, black pepper cons and let them release their aromas for few seconds
Now add cumin seeds and let it crackle
Add finely chopped ginger, garlic and let it cook on a low heat for a minute
Also add chopped green chilli but it's completely optional
Now add chopped onions and let it cook on medium heat while stirring occasionally
Cook the onions until pink and translucent, we don't need to cook until golden
Keep stirring occasionally, this will take around 3-4 minutes to cook onions properly
When onions sweat properly, lower the heat and add turmeric powder and coriander powder and stir well
You can also add red chilli powder here but it's optional, I'm not adding it
Now when the rawness of turmeric is gone, add tomato puree and salt to taste and stir well
Now cover the lid and let the masala cook for 3-4 minutes on medium heat
Keep stirring occasionally by opening the lid once in between, if you feel the masala has become dry, add some hot water, stir and cover the lid again
Cook the masala until it starts to separate the oil from the sides
When the oil starts to separate, add all the prepared spinach puree into the masala
Stir everything well and let the spinach cook on medium to low heat for 15-20 minutes
Keep stirring occasionally while scraping the sides of the pan
Whenever you feel that it has become dry, add some hot water and stir well and let it cook
Now add garam masala powder and stir well
Add the fried cottage cheese cubes and dry fenugreek leaves rubbed between your palms as shown and stir everything well
Now let's prepare a tempering for palak paneer
Heat a tadka pan and add clarified butter
When hot, add sliced garlic and let it sizzle
Temper the garlic till it starts to catch some color and become crispy
Immediately add the tempering into prepared palak paneer and stir lightly
Your delicious Palak Paneer is ready to be served
Serve hot with some Roti/Nan/Missi Roti/Rice
Garnish it with some fresh cream and some more crispy garlic slices
