(Serves 3-4)
Palak paneer is best served with Indian bread. So use water only sparingly in the gravy for a rich consistency. The spinach paste can stick to the bottom of the pan if not cooked over medium heat and stirred continuously. So please do not leave your palak panner unattended when cooking. If it still sticks to the pan add some extra oil. You don’t actually need onion for this recipe, but I use it because it gives the gravy a better texture. For best results cut the onion into four pieces and soak them in boiling water for two minutes, make a paste and then sauté it. But, for me chopped white onions work out just fine. For that extra flavour garnish your palak panner with a big dollop of butter.
