Saag Paneer (Indian Spinach & Cheese)

1 can spinach (or fresh bunch)
100grams Paneer cheese (or Mozzarella or Cheddar)
1 onion finely chopped
1 tbsp. Butter
2-3 Bay Leaves
1 tsp. Cumin seeds
Salt to taste
¼ tsp. Black pepper powder
¾ tsp. Ginger-garlic paste
½ tsp. Green chili paste (or green chilies)
1 tsp. Garma masala powder

1. Mix ginger-garlic paste, green chilies and some water with a little water spinach. Pressure cook for 7-8 minutes (if you want).
2. Heat 2 tbsp. butter. Fry bay leaves and cumin seeds. Add chopped onion. Fry until the onions become pink.
3. Add salt, pepper, garam masala. Stir well.
4. Add spinach mixture and cheese (if you are using real paneer cheese then cut into small cubes and fry until slightly brown before adding to mixture). Stir until mixed.

-It looks gross, but tastes surprisingly yummy.
