    Palak Paneer Recipe

    Palak paneer is a popular north indian delicacy made using palak or spinach leaves and paneer. This dish can be served with naan bread or roti as you like.

    HOW TO GET SOFT PANEER

    • Take a sauce pan with water and boil it. Once it starts to boil, take it off the heat.
    • Add paneer pieces and set aside till needed.
    • When needed, strain and paneer and add it into the curry.
    • This way your paneer stays soft and moist.
    • Usually store bought paneer needs this treatment.

    Notes

    1. Don't boil the spinach too much, else it may loose its colour.
    2. Use fresh paneer or store bought paneer as you like.
    3. If you are using store bought paneer, cut it into small pieces, soak it in warm water for 10 mins until needed.
    4. If you don't have cream, use milk mixed with little cornstarch for thickening. 
    5. Once you add spinach puree, don't cover the pan when cooking. Else it may lose its colour.

      That's really delicious recipe, but I tried so many times but the color of the dish always turns out a little dark, can you suggest how to get the perfect color of the dish.
      And one more doubt mam, what is blanching ??

        Blanching is just putting the spinach leaves in hot water for few seconds to make it more bright in colour. Don't over cook the spinach. Also don't close the lid when cooking
