Hello Anuja and Hetal, The pic is sooooo good I wanna take a sppon of that curry from the bowl and

Well, i wanted to ask you, why did you soak the fried paneer in water before you add it to the curry? .. I
love Palak Paneer

paneer is soaked in water to keep it soft and not get hardened after frying

Well, we soak the paneer, squeeze out the water very gently, and then use the paneer for 2 reasons
- the paneer will be a LOT softer.
- plus the paneer will let go of some of the excess oil.
Give it a try and you will notice the difference.

Hi there!
You two are doing a wonderful job! Thanks a lot for all your recipes! I am really impressed by your
website.
One thing I wanted to mention about the Palak Paneer recipe is you can add lemon juice to it at the end.
Vit C with the Iron in spinach helps absorbing the Iron better and it tastes good as well!
Keep up the good work!

If your bunch of spinach weighs about 16 ozs or 1lb or 1/2 kg then you can use the same measurements.
Remember that a part of that will go away as wasteage (stems).

Greetings from Singapore! I love your website, youve done a great job promoting homecooked indian
cuisine. In fact, youve made it look so simple that Ive finanlly plucked up courage to cook my first indian
dish palak paneer! It turned out great! The only peeve I have is that I may have over-fried my paneer as
it was too dry and crumbly. Otherwise, it was really yummy! Will definitely try your other dishes. =)

Hey anuja and hetal,
you both do a great job by sharing some of the wonderful recipes, I am a big food lover and so is my
husband, I love the idea of using frozen palaak but have a question, usually what i do is put palak in hot
boiling water for few mintues and then blend it in blender and then make the dish, this way since we use
the uncooked spinach, will the dish be as good or will it tast a little different ? it seems very easy this way,

Hello ladies, really enjoy reading your website and watching the videos. Palak paneer is one of my
favourite dishes ever and I wanted to share a tip with you. As a healthier alternative to cream, I always use
a good dollop of whipped Greek-style yogurt and I find this adds a wonderful creaminess to the dish. Try it
and let me know what you think. Good luck and keep up the great work!

hetal Says:

Hi Anuja and Hetal,
Im really excited about trying out your palak paneer recipe just in time for Diwali this year but I had two
questions. First, Im horrible at mincing and chopping garlic and ginger, so I was hoping to just use ginger-
garlic paste instead. Is that an OK shortcut to take? And secondly, do you use the same amount of
evaporated milk as you do heavy cream?
Thanks!
[Reply]
30.
anuja Says:
October 28th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
HI Malavika,
It is absolutely OK to use the paste, just use a little more than what the recipe calls foras fresh is always
more potent that the paste.
For Evaporated Milk, use the amount that would like the consistency to beso pour little at a time and
stop when you see fit.
Evaporated Milk comes in regular fat and low-fat, so if you are looking for a super healthy option, try the
low-fat version!
Happy Diwali to you and your family!

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
I tried this recipe and came out really well.
Thanks to u guys.
I had one question though.
I followed the soaking procedure for Panner after stir frying it but it was not that soft.
In fact the stir fired paneer and kept on paper towel was much softer.
Any idea why this happens?
Between where should the store bought paneer be kept in freezer or refrigerator?

hetal Says:
February 10th, 2009 at 12:47 am
Hi Bharvika,
Soaking the paneer serves 2 purposes to make it soft and to remove all of the excess oil from the frying.
Usually, frying or stir frying forms a coating on the paneer which prevents it from breaking apart in the
curry. By soaking it, the hard coating becomes soft or SHOULD become soft. Not sure what happened
to yours.
Regarding storing the panner, you can keep it in the fridge for up to a week. Anything longer, just cube it
and freeze it in a freezer ziploc bag. You can even stir-fry it and freeze it. One step saved when you are
ready to use it.

This would be a great help!!! Thank you!!! Love you guys!!!!
[Reply]
anuja Reply:

Hi Sivagini,
This is an excellent dish to make ahead and freeze. The tips that we would give would be:
- make the palak part, save and add the paneer for the day of the party (this ensures the paneer will remain
intact and will give a fresh flavor to the dish)
- freeze in an airtight freezer-safe container, the night before the party, move the container from freezer to
fridge and allow it to thaw in the fridge. Take it out of the fridge a few hours before and make sure it has
thawed (if not leave it out on the counter to thaw).
- Reheat on the stove or in the microwave, add in the paneer. Transfer into an oven-safe dish and keep
warm in the oven till ready to serve.
Just fyi, we have a great video on how to heat/reheat food for a party:

Enjoy your party!

Hi, I would like to know the significance of frying the panner(is it for the taste?) becos I tried without
frying it(i bought desi panner from store), It tastes almost similar and also it is soft. Love your site. Great
work!

Paneer is fried so that it holds its shape better in the recipe (even after a lot of mixing, it does not fall
apart). The taste also changes slightly as well as the texture. If you do fry it, you can soak it in some water
to soften it up again.

Hi Hetal & Anuja,
Just a small tip. To save on calories you can just use the paneer (from the desi shop), cut it in cubes and
boil it in water with little fatfree milk (just bring water to boil, add milk to it and then paneer cubes, drain
after 3-4 mts). The paneer turns absolutely soft and tastes so much like homemade. I use this in all my
paneer recipes. Hope this helps!

I would like to modify this receipe also.
In the 2nd step as per your receipe;
2. Blend cooked Spinach to desired texture (avoid over-blending).
I would recommended to blend in very smooth paste. Add 1-1/2 table spoon of yogurt with this smooth
paste.
Now the taste would be like most India Restaurants Palak Paneer.
Another variation,
Use Mix vegetable & very few paneer with the same receipe. These is also a very good curry. Enjoy.

Great recipe! I almost didnt make homemade paneer because of the time commitment, but it ended up
being the most fun part of the process. I also prepped all my ingredients while the paneer was setting
(prepping everything before cooking is absolutely necessary in a tiny New York apartment) and by the
time the paneer was ready, I was ready to cook!

Hi, thanks so much for the recipe i tried it today as a surprise for my parents. the palak paneer turned out
delicious! what a difference a few spoons of cream make. also, instead of pan frying the paneer, i used a
trick i learned recently: cut a block of paneer, place it in water and microwave for a few minutes. the
paneer comes out super soft and even breaks off a bit in the palak (which i love). this trick gets me out of
frying the paneer and is delicious and mild.

coconut based curries and chutneys which should have a smooth consistency, but ends up coarse. I have
watched most of your dishes and your food processor does a pretty good job. I was looking at your online

cooking and grinding?

I really enjoy watching your videos and have learned much from them! I have discovered that using thin
coconut milk in place of the heavy cream gives the umami and richness of heavy cream with none of the
drawbacks of heavy cream.
I have also taken to experimenting with Mexican cuisine (I am Hispanic) using the spices and herbs
normally associated with Indian cooking I have to tell you the results are pretty darn good!
Thank You So Much!

Thanks for the great recipes! I tried this one tonight. Ive never had it before but wanted to try making it
because its a friends favorite dish. Id like to make iy for her but have a couple questions. Is the paneer
supposed to be soft and creamy? Mine definitely wasnt. I may have overfried it. It was pretty dense. It
didnt bother me, but Im wondering how its supposed to be. Also, should the palak be thin or chunky?
Mine was pretty chunky.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Ann Marie,
Paneer is hard to describe it is soft but not super soft kinda like firm Tofu in texture. If you over fried it
or if it is store bought it is a little more dense that home made Paneer. Try dropping the fried paneer in hot
water and then gently squeezing out the water and then adding the Paneer to the spinach. Also, Paneer is
softer when it warm so when serving, heat the dish really well.
Well, as for the spinach it is personal preference. We like a lot of texture and dont like runny gravies
but if the taste is good either ways is fine. Also keep in mind what you are serving the dish with with
rice we serve runny gravies and with breads/naans/chapatis, the spinach should be more chunky

Hi Paul,
Palak paneer definitely freezes well. What I sometimes do is freeze just the palak part of it. Whenever I
need to serve it, I add freshly sauteed paneer. It looks better that way. Paneer browns really well in a
non-stick pan. Unless you use a good amount of oil, it will stick to stainless steel.

Hello Hetal and Anuja, thank you for all your wonderful recipes and instructional videos. Last night I made
paneer following your recipe (although I used 1% non-homogenised milk as it is healthier and I had read
on other websites this would work). Today I tried to make palak paneer. Sadly, as soon as the paneer cubes
touched the pan they started to melt, and I was left with a pan full of globby melted cheese which mostly
just stuck to the bottom of the pan. I would be thrilled if you could offer me some insight as to why this
happened! Ive tried searching the internet but all I can find is that paneer does not melt! Thanks! Raechel

Hi Raechel,
Wow! We have never had paneer melt on us before. The only thing I can think of is the milk you used. We
always use whole milk for paneer. We have tried it with 2%, but never with 1%. Whole milk works the
best.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
I made palak paneer according to your recipe tonight for dinner and have to say it was delish! Simply
amazing. I have been trying out different peoples recipes of palak paneer just for fun and I think Im
hooked on to your version! Even with very little cream and fresh paneer (did not even pan-roast the
paneer), the taste was awesome. We had it with freshly made phulkas and could not stop eating. Thanks
for your awesome recipes. Have tried many so far.

Hi Sunita,
Weve heard of some people adding just a little corn starch mixed with water to help bind the spinach
mixture together. We have not tried it though but may work for you.

Hi!
Thts a great recipeI want to make and freeze this recipe and gathered from ur earlier comments that its
better to make only the palak part and freeze and add the paneer on the day we want to eat it. But if i use
frozen palak in this recipe, can i cook it and again re-freeeze it? Wont it get spoilt?Also for how long can
this cooked palak(with spices) be stored safely?Many thanks.

Hi Neha,
You can safely refreeze this dish for about 4 months, provided that you store it in an airtight container.

This was fabulous! I made it for my husband after a failed attempt with a different palak paneer recipe
about a year ago. He loved this one! We are Indian and both born in Canada, so although my mom did
teach me how to cook Indian food, I never really did for many years and since Ive been married to a man
who loves his Indian food, Ive had to re-learn, and you guys are a HUGE help! Ive never found any
Indian recipe as easy to follow and that taste as good as yours. Keep it up, thanks a tonne!

Hello,
I made this tonight for dinner, and it turned out great except for one thing. There is something grainy in the
dish. I taste it when I take a bite every now and then almost like the sound/texture of small rocks or
something. I washed the spinach before blending it in the food processor with water. It was fresh spinach,
and so I didnt cook it in the microwave first, I just used it as is. For whatever reason I forgot to wash the
tomatoes, but I did remove the cores as much as possible and also removed the price sticckers. For the
spices, I roasted them first and then ground them in the mortar and pestle. For the onion, I chopped it using
the food processor and called myself cooking it thoroughly. I just wish I knew what was giving the dish that
texture. This is the first semi-successful Indian dish I have ever made, but now Im slightly afraid of eating
it because of the texture and of what might or might not be in it. Oh, for the spinach, I did cut off most of
the stem at the bottom and then chopped it enough so that I only needed to add water to blend it. I added
too much water, but compensated by boiling it down and then adding milk at the end.
Thanks for a wonderful recipe. I have much more confidence in cooking Indian food, now!
Harry

Hi Harry,
Not sure what could have happened. The only thing I can think of from your description is the whole
spices that you ground with the mortar and pestle. Maybe they did not grind well? Other than that, it could
be a chunk of dirt stuck on the spinach.

Thank you for this wonderful recipe! I have been looking for a palak paneer recipe for years that is as good
as what I can get in restaurants and have been disappointed over and over again. This was exactly what I
have been looking forflavorful and creamy and delicious. I am a bit sensitive to onions and very sensitive
to garlic, so I omitted the garlic and halved the onions, and it was still just amazing.
I cant wait to make this for my friends and familyand am looking forward to trying your other recipes.
Thank you so much!
Astrid
