Cottage Cheese in Spinach (Paalak Paneer)

Here's a very easy version of Paalak Paneer microwave cooked. Since Paalak is now available more or less throughout the year I decided on making this delicious yet healthy/nutritious dish in microwave to escape the heat in the kitchen. It takes very little time and oil and that's why I cook paneer or mushroom dishes mostly in the microwave.
