Now add chopped green chillies and onions which were cut into small pieces. Keep it in medium flame and fry them. Onions and green chillies lightly change their colour. Already we add green chillies, hence one tsp of red chilli powder is enough. Now add cumin powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and garam masala powder. Fry for two minutes, until all masalas are mixed nicely with onions. Now all masalas are mixed well and oil comes out from the mixture. Add the prepared paste. Keep it in low flame.

If you want you can blend spinach separately and onion, tomato mixture separately and add into the pan. Now add one tsp of salt. You can add salt according to your taste. Stir well. Cover it and fry for 2-3 minutes in medium flame. We have already fried Spinach and also fried onion,tomato mixture. So we need not fry once again. After 2-3 minutes, we will see that Spinach paste is nicely fried. Now if you want, you can add fresh cream or curd or cashew paste.
Mix well. Now the sufficient consistency is there. If you want more gravy, add cooked Spinach water. Now the paste is ready. Add Paneer cubes. You can cut Paneer into any size as you wish.
