Chef's Notes
Do not skip the ice bath for your spinach! It is the single greatest trick to maintaining that vibrant, restaurant-quality green color instead of a depressing brownish-grey sludge.
Pro Tip
If your spinach paste feels too thick, resist the urge to drown it in water. Add just a tablespoon at a time to maintain a rich, clingy gravy that hugs your paneer.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping raw, unblanched spinach straight into a hot pan with spices like a frantic amateur, resulting in a bitter, watery, khaki-colored soup that tastes like regret.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why the spinach had to be so dramatic with the ice bath, and he said it was to ensure the dish didn't suffer from 'early-aging' syndrome.
The Culinary Science
Blanching and shocking spinach inactivates the enzymes that cause browning while breaking down cell walls, which makes your blender's job infinitely easier.

Flavor Maturation & Emulsion Protection
Storage Science
Cool rapidly in a shallow container before refrigerating. Curries and stews often taste better on day two as aromatic compounds continue to bloom and mingle in the fat matrix. Consume within 4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat slowly on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring gently. If the fat has separated (broken emulsion), add a tablespoon of boiling water and whisk vigorously to re-emulsify before serving.
