Place a small amount of oil in a large pan and place over medium heat. Add the paneer and cook, turning often until brown on all sides. Once the paneer has browned, take it out of the pan and transfer it to a plate. Set aside.
In the same pan, add the ghee and sliced onions and cook until the onions have softened and begun to caramelize.
Once the onions have begun to caramelize add the ginger, chili and garlic and cook until fragrant, about one minute. Add the coriander, cumin, garam masala, and cayenne. Cook for another minute, stirring the spices into the mixture.
Transfer the onions to a food processor and blend until smooth. Return the mixture to the pan.
Add the spinach and fenugreek to the pan with a splash of water and continue to cook until the spinach has wilted down and the water has evaporated. Continue adding water and stewing down the spinach until it is very soft, about 15 minutes.
Add the cream and continue to cook until the cream has reduced and formed a sauce. Add the paneer back into the pan and warm through.
