About Paalak paneer

Paalak Paneer is a classic North Indian dish combining tender cubes of paneer (a fresh, non-melting Indian cheese) with a creamy, spiced spinach gravy. A staple in Indian cuisine, this meal packs a nutritional punch, rich in protein from the paneer and loaded with vitamins, iron, and fiber from the spinach. Commonly seasoned with garlic, ginger, tomatoes, and aromatic spices like cumin and garam masala, it offers a flavorful way to include greens in your diet. While it’s a healthy choice overall, the dish can be high in calories and saturated fat depending on the amount of paneer and cream used. Typically enjoyed with naan or rice, Paalak Paneer strikes a balance between indulgence and nourishment, making it a beloved comfort food with wholesome benefits.
