Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Pour the blended spinach mixture into the skillet. Add garam masala, turmeric, and salt. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

child_care If the child prefers plain paneer, skip adding the paneer to the sauce and serve it separately.

Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes. Gently stir the paneer cubes into the sauce. Add the heavy cream and cook for 2 minutes until heated through. Stir in half the chopped cilantro.

child_care Remove a few plain paneer cubes for the child before adding to the sauce.
