Flavour-Boosting Tricks:

✅ Roast the paneer lightly before adding for a richer taste.
✅ A teaspoon of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) enhances the aroma.
✅ A little butter at the end gives a restaurant-style finish.
Do’s & Don’ts:
✔️ Do blanch the spinach to keep its vibrant green color.
✔️ Do stir gently when adding paneer to prevent it from breaking.
❌ Don’t overcook the spinach—it can turn bitter.
❌ Don’t add too much water—the gravy should be thick and creamy.
