Why This Palak Paneer Tastes Like Restaurant Quality

The secret to great palak paneer isn't complicated — it's about preserving the fresh green color while developing rich flavors.

Quick & Healthy Meal

This dish comes together in just 25 minutes and packs a nutritional punch with protein from paneer, iron from spinach, and anti-inflammatory benefits from our premium spices.

Ingredients You'll Need

For the Spinach Puree
  • 500g fresh spinach leaves
  • 250g paneer, cubed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1-inch ginger piece
  • 2 green chillies

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Blanch the Spinach

    Bring water to boil, add spinach for 2 minutes, then immediately transfer to ice water. This preserves the vibrant green color. Drain and blend into a smooth puree.

  • Create the Base

    Heat butter in a pan. Sauté onions until translucent. Add ginger, garlic and green chillies. Cook for 2 minutes.

  • Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Add tomatoes and all Masaliyo spice powders. Cook until tomatoes soften and the mixture thickens.

  • Combine Everything

    Add spinach puree and paneer cubes. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add fresh cream and mix gently.

  • Final Tempering

    Heat ghee in a small pan, add cumin seeds, sliced garlic and dry red chilli. Pour over the palak paneer just before serving.

Restaurant Secrets for Perfect Palak Paneer

  • Blanch spinach quickly — overcooking turns it brown.
  • Don't overcook paneer — add it at the end to prevent a rubbery texture.
  • Use fresh cream sparingly — too much masks the spinach flavor.
  • Add kasoori methi — crush between palms for maximum aroma.
  • Temper at the end — adds aroma and enhances presentation.

Why Masaliyo Spices Complement Spinach Perfectly

Spinach has a delicate flavor that can easily be overpowered. Our Masaliyo Coriander Powder adds subtle citrus notes that enhance the spinach without dominating it, while Masaliyo Garam Masala provides just enough warmth to balance the creamy texture.
