  1. Fill a pan with water and bring it to a boil. Drop in the spinach and cook for 3 minutes, until wilted. Drain, then rinse under cold water to cool. Blitz the spinach in a blender until smooth. Set the paste aside.
  2. Set a large non-stick frying pan over a medium hob. Pour in the vegetable oil and add the cumin seeds. Fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Soften the chopped onion in the pan over a low heat for 6 minutes. Stir in the ginger, garlic and green chillies and cook for a further minute.
  4. Sprinkle in the ground coriander and salt, then cook for 30 seconds. Add the spinach paste. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of water.
  5. Raise the heat to bring the curry to a boil, then lower it and simmer for 3 minutes.
  6. Drop in the paneer cubes, dust with garam masala, and pour in the milk. Stir gently and cook for a few minutes until the sauce is creamy.
  7. Add lemon juice to taste and serve at once.
