By now I think most of us have our favourite curries on a meal plan loop, thanks to the simplicity, variety, flavour and affordability they offer. Only a few ingredients go a very long way and make something special every time. This Palak Paneer is made with Indian cheese, frozen spinach and a handful of store cupboard ingredients, so it’s easy to throw together, budget-friendly and healthy too. I love adding a vegetarian Indian spinach dish to my go-to recipes because a) I love the way spinach tastes b) I always have some spinach in my freezer c) It’s SO good for us, and d) Eating it in a curry dish is probably the best way to enjoy spinach For this recipe, paneer has a nice long shelf-life too, so it’s good to keep in for when the moment arises.
Why you’ll love this Palak Paneer recipe
⭐️ Super healthy and inexpensive ⭐️ Very quick and simple to make ⭐️ Delicious and comforting This is my take on this Indian spinach dish, which is simplified for speed and convenience. For example, a very authentic Spinach Paneer would involve puréeing the spinach, but as we’re using frozen spinach (which usually comes pre-chopped in little blocks), we don’t need to as it’s already really fine.

In the freezer You can freeze this recipe but be aware that it might not be at its best because the spinach has already been thawed. Fresh is always best with delicate ingredients but I certainly wouldn’t waste it if there’s some spare. Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations.
