Palak Paneer
Instead of wasting time in pureeing spinach and preparing the onion-tomato base separately, you can cook everything together. Roughly cut onion, tomato, ginger, and garlic. Cook the ingredients with spices, and add spinach leaves once the tomatoes turn mushy. After a couple of minutes, blend everything into a smooth puree using a hand blender. Let the gravy come to a simmer before adding paneer, and finish it off with tempering and fresh cream.
