Step 2: Take a pan and heat 1 spoon oil/ghee/butter and add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds aka jeera and let it add the flavor. Now add finely chopped onions and grated/finely chopped garlic to the mix. Sauce till the onions and garlic turn golden brown.
Step 3: Now add spinach to the same and add salt to taste. Cook for about 2-3 mins.
Step 4: Cut pieces of paneer into cubes and mix paneer cubes, some fresh thick cream, and mozzarella cheese together in a bowl.
