Palak Paneer | पालक पनीर | Indischer Käse mit Rahmspinat

Melt in your mouth paneer in a silky spinach curry.
Palak Paneer is one of the most popular vegetarian dishes on a North Indian restaurant menu. There are many North Indian and Mughlai style dishes that are often only eaten in restaurants and not usually prepared at home, especially tandoori dishes like naan, tandoori chicken and paneer tikka which need a tandoor to prepare, which no home cook has access to. However, Palak Paneer is one dish which is not only popular in restaurants but is also frequently prepared at home.
The dish usually consists of a creamy palak (spinach) gravy with cubes of paneer. There are many variations of the dish, some like the spinach puréed to a very smooth consistency while others make it with chopped or coarsely ground spinach for a more chunky consistency. Some prefer to fry the paneer cubes before adding them to the curry while in our family, that's strictly forbidden. Some add tomatoes to the curry while others would argue that there shouldn't be any tomatoes in palak paneer. The list goes on, however, in my opinion, it's very difficult to mess this one up. Spinach and cheese are a match made in heaven and show up across cuisines in various dishes - our recipe is not very heavily spiced and lets the mild flavours of the spinach and paneer shine through.
This is my mother's recipe for palak paneer. I love this recipe because it's a one-pot dish, all the ingredients get roughly chopped and are the cooked and puréed in the same pot with a hand blender. We're using fresh spinach in this recipe, but you can use frozen spinach by all means. Just keep in mind that frozen spinach is already blanched and doesn't need further cooking once thawed.
Enjoy this creamy palak paneer with rotis, classic or laccha paranthas or naan if you're feeling fancy.
