Directions

In a small bowl, mix together the spices and set aside.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger, and sautee 2 min.

Add the spice mix, and sautee 1 min to release the fragrance.

Add the frozen spinach, cream and water to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for 10 min.

Stir in the cubed paneer and allow to heat through, about 5 min.

Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.

Enjoy as-is, or serve over konjac or cauliflower rice.
