Palak paneer recipe, how to make palak paneer

September 1, 2010 by Raks Anand 115 Comments / Jump to Recipe

Palak-paneer-recipe

Palak paneer is a popular north Indian side dish for flat breads. How to make without changing the colour to get greenish gravy.

I was not a big fan of palak paneer (yeah🤪)until I tasted at The Mango tree restaurant here in Singapore. So I have never tried at home too obviously. This is the first time I am trying this. Now I am liking slowly. Since my kiddo loves paneer, as well as palak this is a nice way to make him eat spinach…he eats palak poori and this comes next in his favorite.

To prepare a perfect green palak paneer, we must take care to retain the green colour of the palak, also it should not be under cooked as it could cause stomach upset as well as bitter gravy.

Why is my Palak paneer bitter?

Palak paneer turns bitter if the palak is not cooked properly. This is one of the main reasons.

Other reasons for bitter gravy?

In this particular recipe, if the spice powder is added more, or burnt while roasting (whole spices we powder) or the garam masala is added more at the end. Not adding enough tomato to balance the taste also causes it taste bitter.

Palak paneer recipe

Palak paneer is a popular Indian side dish for flat breads. Instead of blanching, I like to sautee the palak for bright green colour. Step by step pictures post.
Course Side Dish
Cuisine Indian
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 4
Cup measurements

Ingredients

  • Palak – 2 cups Tighyly packed, Indian spinach
  • Onion – 1 big
  • Paneer cubes – 1 & 1/2 cups Measured after thawing
  • Tomato – 2
  • Green chillies – 5
  • Turmeric – 1/4 tsp
  • Coriander seeds powder – 1 tsp
  • Kasoori methi – 1 tsp
  • Sugar 1/2 tsp
  • Milk/ cream – 1/4 cup
  • Oil / butter – 3 tbsp
  • Salt – as needed

To roast and powder

  • Cinnamon – 1/2 inch piece
  • Cardamom – 1
  • Cloves 1
  • Pepper – 1 tsp
  • Cumin seeds/ Jeera – 1 tsp

Instructions

  • Wash spinach, drain excess water. Remove the stem part from the leaf. Tear off any thick stem part in the middle of the leaves too..)
  • Chop the onion and tomatoes finely. Gather other ingredients needed.
  • In a pan, heat 1/2 tsp of ghee and fry the items in the 'To roast and powder'. Add every thing together except cumin seeds and roast.
  • Add cumin seeds lastly as it gets fried in no time. Do not burn anything which will turn the gravy bitter. Keep a side. I powdered this using a hand mortar and pestle in to a fine powder.
  • In the same pan, add the washed palak leaves and fry till it reduces in volume. The water in the leaves is enough to make it shrink. If you need all few drops of oil while frying. Transfer to a plate and cool down.
  • Grind it with the green chillies, water if needed.
  • Heat pan and add the oil and fry onions thoroughly till it turns golden brown. Add turmeric and coriander powder and give it a quick stir in low flame.
  • Add the tomatoes and little salt to make the tomatoes cook fast. Add the kasoori methi now, crush them in between your palms.
  • When the tomatoes turn mushy, add the ground palak paste, sugar. Fry in low flame for 4-5 minutes till oil separates or till the raw smell disappears and the palak gets cooked well.
  • Mean while boil water in another vessel and add the paneer and switch off the stove and keep covered till use. Drain the paneer and add it to the palak gravy.
  • Add milk and mix or cream slowly as you keep mixing in low flame and just bring to boil.
  • Add the powdered garam masala.Mix well.Transfer to the serving bowl and serve with hot roti or naan.

Notes

  • I preferred sautéing the leaves than boil, you can try blanching too. Make sure not over cook the palak,or you wont get green gravy.
  • You can add a pinch of cooking soda for the palak to retain its green while boiling.
  • Adding sugar helps retain green of the palak.
  • If your palak and green chillies are not cooked properly, it will turn the gravy bitter.
  • I have avoided using red chilli powder and used green chilli and pepper for spiciness. This ensures giving a good green colour to the gravy.
  • Use cream in place of milk for extra richness. Also curd or sour cream works fine.
  • For lazy version, you can avoid the spice/ masala grinding  part and add garam masala instead.
  • After adding paneer cubes, do not cook long time as it will make paneer turn hard. Use fresh paneer for best results. 
  • Soaking in hot water helps softening the paneer.

Palak paneer step by step:

  1. Wash spinach, drain excess water. Remove the stem part from the leaf. Tear off any thick stem part in the middle of the leaves too..)

    Try making without the tomatoes and add lime juice after cooking, it's a completely diferent flavor surely.

    Just boil water and switch off the stove, add paneer to it and keep covered until you use, do not boil in water. hope this helps. Immersing in hot water makes paneer soft, otherwise it would be hard in the mid.

    Nikhat, sorry about ur experience…

    Reasons for the gravy getting bitter :

    Your masala you fried got burnt or it was more.
    Coriander powder more
    Palak not cooked properly (or fried)
    Your tomato was not enough tangy to balance the taste….

    Hope this helps…

    Hi Raks,

    The recipe is indeed amazing. My bro cooked it for me and it tasted so good. Thanks for making by bro such a talented cook 🙂

    I have a suggestion. Tempered whole red chilli adds real good flavour to palak paneer. You can try it…

    Thanks again
    Swati

    I tried to make this last night and it did not come our very well. I do not have access to Palak/Indian spinach so I used baby spinach. I was unsure on the volume. I used 2 jalapeno peppers for the chilies, and it was overpowing. You say to add garam masala at the end, but there is no measurement for it. I love saag paneer and I was hoping this would get me to that wonderful flavor but it did not.

    Hi, Sorry about your experience. I mentioned garam masala – powdered garam masala. The one in step 3.

    palak is cooked properly? even if garam masala is more or roated too much, it turns bitter.

    Hi! QQ: Do you add water when you grind the palak and chilly? I tried without water and it turned out to be a thick paste. Not as liquid as shown in your pictures. I also used baby spinach instead of palak. Do you think that may be a reason why it didn't turn out paste when grind-ed without water?

    It was the water that was intact with the leaves after washing. When I sautee, it leaves out the water and I grind it along with it. But that should not be a problem to you, just water content 🙂
