Everyone’s favourite, healthy and nutritious. It can go with your daily meal. Loved by all and very healthy too!
Here’s our take on the dish that is almost everyone’s favourite! An Indian gravy with paneer and puréed spinach. it looks yumm, tastes yumm and is very healthy! Spinach is very good for our hair and skin and helps in reducing weight too!
You can have it with Tandoori Roti, Chapati or Naan!
I prefer having Palak Paneer with Tandoori Roti.
