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 The Epicurean Feast -

Spinach (Palak)-Paneer Combo Spinach (Palak)-Paneer Combo
Recently I could harvest a lot of spinach from my veg-garden. I love spinach so much, as it is highly nutritious as well as tasty. I tried mixing it with Paneer without loosing the vitamin value to make an excellent side dish for chappathis,roties,poori etc. This dish is not only highly nutritious but is a wonderful blend of taste ,texture and flavour....

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. Sunpreet Singh Arora -

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. 😊 The Boggler -
