About Palak paneer

Palak Paneer is a popular vegetarian dish from Indian cuisine, combining nutrient-rich spinach (palak) and paneer, a fresh, non-aged cheese. Typically cooked with onions, tomatoes, garlic, and aromatic spices like cumin and garam masala, Palak Paneer is served as a smooth, flavorful curry. Spinach forms the nutritional backbone of the dish, providing essential vitamins such as A, C, and K, along with iron, magnesium, and fiber. Paneer contributes protein and calcium but also comes with a moderate fat content, particularly when made from full-fat milk. Palak Paneer is low in carbohydrates, making it suitable for various dietary preferences. However, the dish’s healthiness can vary based on preparation methods—using excess oil, cream, or butter may increase calorie density. A lighter version can be made by using minimal fats and pairing it with whole-grain options like brown rice or whole wheat roti for a balanced meal.
