The Palak Paneer is a cookbook exclusive recipe…

Palak Paneer is one of those dishes that shows how simple ingredients can turn into something really comforting. The creamy spinach sauce is full of flavour and the pan-fried paneer is a beautiful contrast when you bite into it. It’s rich without being heavy and actually quite surprisingly easy to make at home, plus full of nutrients from the spinach.

From the Testing Team

Bronwynne Grieve – Really delicious- way better than Indian takeaway. I loved the gingery taste from the fresh ginger. Paneer was very expensive at my supermarket so I subbed half cauliflower which made it more budget friendly.
Samantha Martin – We really enjoyed this curry! Had a nice flavour, with a gentle hit of spice and sauce was a good consistency. Served it with rice.
Angie – Made for dinner tonight and absolutely loved it 😋 the sauce was silky, smooth and very tasty. I made my own Paneer the previous day and turned out great. This is the first time ever making & eating this dish and definitely will not be the last.
Karen Edwards – This was a pleasant surprise! I absolutely love this! I did add plenty of coriander and fresh chilli when eating for a bit of spice and freshness. But its so so so good.
Michelle Ryan – Amazing! Flavour intense, great spice level, we had with rice, roti and lemon wedges. Easy dish for quick weeknight dinner and I imagine it would be great reheated also. One of my favs so far.
