Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash your palak in runner water and strain the excess water. Cut tomatoes and onions medium sized. Keep ready all the spices.
- 2
In a kadhai, heat oil on medium flame, add cumin seeds and let them crackle. Add garlic, ginger and saute.
- 3
Add chopped onions and saute for 2 mins. Do not over cook.
- 4
Add green chillies, you can cut them and add. Saute for 2-3 mins, you'll sleep the aroma of chillies and onion.
- 5
After 3-5 mins you'll see onions becoming transparent and can smell chilli too. That's when you know your onions are cooked.
- 6
Add chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
- 7
Add your fresh washed palak and cook until palak becomes soft. (Do not blench the palak, it removes the nutrients and the color will become dull.)
- 8
After cooking for 5-7 minutes this is how your palak will look. Once it reaches this stage remove from the heat.
- 9
Take it out from the pan in a large plate and let it cool.
- 10
Once cooled, add it to mixer jar and blend to a smooth paste. Did you see that fresh green color of palak?
- 11
In a kadhai, heat oil on medium flame. Add chopped garlic and saute.
- 12
Add chopped onions and saute until onions change the color.
- 13
Add paneer cubes and saute. This process will help paneer absorb flavor of garlic and onions, it will also have a fried layer because of oil.
- 14
Add the spices, cumin-coriander powder, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt and saute.
- 15
Add blended palak puree and cook for 3-4 minutes. And turn off the flame. Let it cool for a while.
- 16
Add milk cream that you have at home. (You can also add amul fresh cream.) If you will add cream to the hot gravy it will turn into small crumbles and not give creamy texture and taste, so always turn of the flame, let it cool and then add cream.
- 17
Mix everything well and cool for 10-12 minutes or until you smell nice aroma of palak paneer.
- 18
Your restaurant style palak paneer is ready! Serve hot with kulcha/paratha and of course don't miss on sliced onions with salt and pepper.

Enjoy!

Palak Paneer/ cottage cheese in spinach sauce Palak Paneer/ cottage cheese in spinach sauce
Palak Paneer is a popular North Indian dish. As the name suggests, palak paneer is a dish in which paneer or Indian cottage cheese is cooked in creamy spinach sauce. You can prepare paneer at home. Home-made paneer is much softer than store-bought paneer. However, if you want to use store-bought paneer soak the paneer in hot water for 20 minutes to make it softer.#everydayveg

Palak Paneer Palak Paneer
I love paneer cubes dipped in spinach sauce (and frankly who doesn't!). One of my best friends from my past life in Michigan (shout out to the one and only Vaibhav Sharma ladies and gentlemen) cooked it during a couple of get togethers (he is a pro!). Hence, I took up the challenge of perfecting it myself. This one in the honor of Vaibhav and numerous occasions he has cooked it for me.

Palak Paneer Palak Paneer
My dad has been taking us for Northern Indian cuisine since I can remember. Our favorite restaurant was Pakeeza's at Right Angle in Seksyen 14, which is still there and it’s my turn now to take him and my mum whenever I visit home. A must-order would be the palak paneer... the type with palak you can chew rather than made into a paste. So this first attempt follows that memory of the dish being chunky instead of saucey. 😊
