Palak Paneer

Palak paneer is a quintessential North Indian vegetarian dish that pairs creamy cubes of fresh paneer cheese with a vibrant, silky spinach sauce. The dish has deep roots in Punjabi home cooking, where fresh seasonal spinach is transformed into a nourishing, mildly spiced gravy that is both comforting and nutritious.
