Method

Wash clean and chop the palak.  Pour boiling water on it.  Drain and grind to paste.
Cut the paneer into cubes.  Heat little water and immerse the paneer in it for 10 - 15 minutes.  
Fry the ground paste in ghee/oil (I used ghee) till ghee separates. Add the palak paste and fry well. Add salt and little water to adjust the consistency of the gravy.  Cover and cook on slow fire for 4 -5 minutes. Add paneer lightly stir it into the gravy. Serve hot with rotis or puris.

Note:  You can also fry the paneer and then add to the gravy. To make it vegan, use tofu.
