Method:
Wash & clean the spinach bunch well then set a dep pan with water over high flame & bring it to a roaring boil.
Once the water comes to a roaring boil, add a pinch of salt then add the spinach leaves & keep them submerged in the boiling water for 10-15 seconds then immediately transfer them into a bowl of ice-cold water.
After the spinach cools down completely, take it out from the bowl & squeeze it gently in your hands to remove excess water, then add all the spinach into a mixer grinder jar along with mint, fresh coriander, green chilli, ginger, water & grind it into a fine paste, your spinach puree is ready.
To fry paneer, add oil into a hot pan set over high flame & let the oil get hot.
Further add the cubed pieces of paneer & shallow fry the paneer until light golden brown from one side then flip them & fry them similarly on the other side as well.
Once fried, transfer the fried paneer pieces into a separate bowl & set it aside until you make the gravy.
To fry the garlic, set a kadhai over high flame & add oil once it gets hot.
Further add the halved garlic cloves & fry them over medium flame until they turn light golden brown then strain them using a sieve, your fried garlic is ready & make sure you reserve the oil to use it while making the gravy.
Set the same kadhai over the flame & add the garlic oil along with ghee.
Further add all the whole spices & onion, stir well & cook over medium high flame until the onions turn golden brown.
Add the roughly chopped garlic once the onions turn golden brown, stir & cook the garlic for 1-2 minutes.
Further lower the flame & add all the powdered spices, stir once & immediately add a splash of hot water & increase the flame to high & cook the spices for 1-2 minutes.
Further add the tomatoes, salt & cook until the tomatoes get mushy & the oil gets separated, if it gets too dry then add a splash of hot water & continue to cook it further.
Once the tomatoes have cooked & the oil is released, lower the flame & add in the spinach puree, stir well & now cook the puree for 8-10 minutes over medium flame.
Further add the fried garlic & fresh cream, stir well & then add the fried paneer along with grated nutmeg & lemon juice, stir well & cook briefly.
To make the tempering for lasooni palak paneer, set a small pan over high heat & once it gets hot, add the ghee.
Once the ghee gets hot, add the roughly chopped garlic & fry it until it gets slightly light golden brown, then add in the kashmiri red chilli, asafoetida & kashmiri red chilli powder & immediately pour the tadka over the lasooni palak paneer.
Your lasooni palak paneer is ready, serve it with tandoori roti/ laccha paratha / naan.
