Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash and finely chop the tomato and onions. Cut the paneer into your preferred shape.
- 2
Add the tomato and green chili to a blender and blend until smooth. Wash the spinach thoroughly, clean it, and chop it into large pieces.
- 3
Pour water into a pot and bring it to a boil. Add the spinach and let it cook for 2 minutes. Do not overcook the spinach. Drain the spinach, reserving the water. Rinse the spinach with cold water to help retain its color. Once cooled, blend the spinach into a puree.
- 4
Heat oil in a skillet and add the paneer pieces. Shallow fry for about 2 minutes until lightly golden. You can also use raw paneer if you prefer. Remove the fried paneer to a plate. In the same oil, add asafoetida and cumin seeds. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn light golden brown. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté. Then add the tomato and chili paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.
- 5
Add all the ground spices and cook until the oil starts to separate at the edges. Add the spinach puree to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes. Add salt and, if needed, some of the reserved spinach water to adjust the consistency of the gravy as you like.
- 6
Add 2 tablespoons of cream or malai to the spinach mixture and mix well. Add the paneer pieces and let them cook in the gravy for about 5 minutes so the flavors blend. Add fresh cilantro leaves.
- 7
Garnish the Palak Paneer (Punjabi Style) with more cream or malai on top.

Note: I decorated the Palak Paneer in two different ways. You can decorate it as you like and serve with naan or roti.

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/ 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
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. 😊
