Easy Palak Paneer


Palak Paneer is one of my all time favourite dish. I love to pair it with rotis as well as jeera rice. Unfortunately my man hates both palak as well as paneer hence ultimately its one of his least favourite dish. That's one of the main reason I make it at home once in a blue moon :( . Whenever I get a chance to visit any north indian restaurant I use that opportunity to enjoy this yummy dish. I learnt this simple method from one of my IIT friend Mala. Since I have to make only for myself I justify opting to this method :P. Do try this and share your feedbacks!!
