Well, took from Chammy.

Paneer - 200 gm (cubed)
Green chilies - 3 (chopped)

Method:
In a microwave safe bowl, add the spinach and green chilies. Microwave high for 1 ½ minutes (mine took 4 minutes).
Cool completely and puree them.
Meanwhile in another bowl, add oil, onion and ginger. Toss them so that the oil gets coated well.
Microwave in high mode for 2 minutes. Coarsely grind them.
Now add the ground coarse paste of onions, ginger, green chilies, spinach, cumin powder, cream (I didn’t measure, just poured it). Coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, water (if required), salt in the bowl and mix well.
Microwave for 3 minutes (remove and mix well after 2 minutes).
