Palak Paneer

Palak Paneer is a delicious, hearty Punjabi dish prepared with Palak and Indian cheese.

This traditional greens based vegetarian dish is a rich, smooth, creamy curry where paneer cubes are cooked in a onion-tomato-spinach based gravy which is moderately spiced with Indian spices.

The paneer in this recipe has been fried to add some extra flavour. You can however add the paneer pieces without frying if required.

6. Add crushed palak in it. Fry this mixture till it leaves all its oil.
7. Now fry the cheese, cut into pieces in a separate pan & add it into palak.
8. Cook for another 4-5 mints. Serve hot with butter on it.
