Palak paneer features tender cubes of paneer cheese in a well-seasoned, silky spinach gravy. Palak literally means spinach, and this vibrant green dish is fully loaded with it. It’s vegetarian comfort food at its finest.
Palak paneer hails from the Punjab region in Northern India. This homemade version was developed with organic spinach in mind — spinach carries higher pesticide residues by weight than most other produce, making the organic swap worth considering.
The recipe was tested repeatedly to maximize flavor while keeping the process streamlined from start to finish. It comes together in about 45 minutes, making it an achievable weeknight dinner whenever the craving strikes.
