    Palak paneer recipe, how to make palak paneer

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

    Palak paneer is a popular north Indian side dish prepared with Indian spinach and Indian cottage cheese. It is perfect to go with flat breads. Learn how to make this without changing the color to get greenish gravy.

    I was not a big fan of palak paneer (yeah🤪)until I had 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.

    Palak paneer served with roti

    To achieve a perfect green, we must take care to retain the color of Indian spinach, also it should not be under cooked as it could cause stomach upset as well as bitter gravy.

    How to make perfect tasting Palak paneer? Here are some FAQs that will help you to get perfect results:

    Why is my Palak paneer bitter?

    If the spinach is not cooked properly. This is one of the main reasons.

    Other reasons:

    In this particular recipe, if the spice powder is added more, or burnt while roasting (whole spice) or the garam masala is added more at the end.

    Not adding enough tomato to balance also causes it taste so.

    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

    • 2 cups Palak Tighyly packed, Indian spinach
    • 1 Onion
    • 1.5 cups Paneer cubes Measured after thawing
    • 2 Tomato
    • 5 Green chillies Medium heat
    • ¼ teaspoon Turmeric
    • 1 teaspoon Coriander seeds powder
    • 1 teaspoon Kasoori methi
    • ½ teaspoon Sugar
    • ¼ cup Milk/ cream
    • 2 tablespoon Oil / butter
    • Salt

    To roast and powder

    • ½ inch Cinnamon
    • 1 Cardamom
    • 1 Cloves
    • 1 teaspoon Pepper
    • 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds/ Jeera
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    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 ½ teaspoon 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.

      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...

      i seldom leave comments but i could not stop myself from leaving a heartfelt compliment 🙂

      Ur recipies are just AWESOME......

      Tried palak paneer for the very first time and it turned out fantabulous, the best part my kid liked it and my hubby literally cleaned the entire kadai in which i served the curry 🙂 The next day my daughter asked me for palak paneer again....I must thank you so much for ur simple and tasty curries. i also tried mixed vegetable kurma/ puliogare/brinjal fry/ tomato peas pulav/ sambar and they were all super duper hit.. thnx so much.

      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

      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.

      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 🙂
