Palak paneer is a North Indian cuisine dish prepared from spinach and cottage cheese in a thick smooth curry of pureed spinach, green chillies and garlic cloves. It is best served with roti, naan or steamed rice or even jeera rice or biryani.

Palak paneer is a popular vegetarian dish in North India. It is not only simple and easy to make but also very nutritious. This recipe does not require too many spice powders and hence gravy retains the bright green color.

You can add milk cream at the end to garnish the palak paneer and give a rich taste to the dish. Paneer cubes can be little stir fried light brown, before adding to the gravy. But if you want a healthy dish, you can skip milk cream and add paneer cubes without frying them.
