Milk - 3 tablespoon
Chopped onion - 2
Oil - 3 tablespoon
Sugar - 1 tablespoon
Salt to taste

For Paste

Coriander powder - 1 tablespoon
Chopped Onion -1
Green chilies - 4-5
Cumin - 1 teaspoon
Cardamom - 2
Black pepper - 5
Garlic cloves - 8
Ginger - 1 inch

Procedure


Soak the ingredients given under 'For Paste' in little water for an hour. Clean and wash methi and palak. Grind to a smooth paste. Make very small cubes of paneer or just grate it. Make a paste of soaked items. Heat oil in kadai fry onion till it gets golden brown. Now add the paste. Fry it for a minute. Then add paneer and saute it. Lastly add the green paste, milk, sugar and salt. Reduce heat and simmer till the gravy thickens. Serve hot with Roti or Rice.

Hi! This is originally a Kashmiri dish and Chaman means Paneer.
I used to make this quite often a little differently, now that you have made this, I must also make again.
