#Wecare - Palak Paneer in general is a very popular dish on an Indian platter. It is a wholesome and a nutritious preparation of cottage cheese and spinach. But I gave a twist and added some coconut milk. It turned out really delicious. It can be relished with either plain steamed rice, pulao, plain biryani, naan, tandoori roti or chapatti.
