Easy palak paneer recipe pairs finely blended spinach with soft paneer cubes, cooked slowly with garlic and spices to create a smooth, well-balanced gravy that tastes clean, rich, and distinctly green without overpowering the paneer.
2 cups washed spinach leaves 200 g cubed paneer 1 tbsp oil 1 tsp finely chopped garlic 1 finely chopped onion ½ tsp garam masala Salt to taste Water as required
Blanch spinach for a short duration, then cool immediately and blend into a fine, lump-free puree.
Heat oil in a pan and sauté garlic and onions until soft and slightly translucent.
Add spinach puree and salt, cooking gently to remove any raw taste.
Add paneer cubes and garam masala, stirring carefully so the cubes stay intact.
Simmer for a few minutes until the gravy thickens slightly and coats the paneer well.
