Can I use frozen paalak for paalak paneer? If yes then how?

Response: Hello Pushpa, I am not able to give you the answer as I have never made palak paneer using frozen palak. However, you can cook the spinach gravy (palak gravy from this recipe) and then freeze it for later use.

Why don’t you add tomatoes ?

Response: This recipe doesn't require tomatoes. since palak is pureed to make a gravy. However, if you like tangy taste of tomato, you can add 1/4 cup tomato pieces in the puree.

Nov 09, 2016 by Nandu

Response: Hello Nandu, which white sauce are you talking about? You can use the fresh malai/ cream or sour cream in this recipe. If it is not available, just skip it.

I liked the palak panner.

This is one of the best recipes for homemade Palak Paneer I have tried. I think the Fenugreek powder is a must! It tasted almost the same as the stuff I get at my local Indian restaurant. I have trouble getting the Paneer to pan fry and not stick to the pan, any tips?

Response: Hello Cheryl Dawson, thank you for trying the recipe. Use a non-stick pan to prevent paneer from sticking to the pan. And yes you are right about the dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) (don't use the fenugreek seeds powder), it gives the restaurant like flavor.

Namaste.
Coming from totally white Northern Ontario, I grew up on plain meat and potatoes.
I am fortunate to live now in a part of Toronto with many good South Asian people. Occasionally I splurge and go to an authentic restaurant and enjoy.
NOW you have empowered me to make this beautiful food in my own home. I've emailed my daughter twice that I want to make EVERY recipe on this incredible, fantastic website.
THANK YOU!!

Response: I'm glad to hear that you liked the recipes from this website.

Can I fry the spinach puree after grinding?

Response: Hi Maria, I didn't get your question. Did you mean shallow fry or deep fry? Because, we shallow fry the puree for couple of minutes in step-7.

This recepie is very simple and delicious. But my question is can I add curd instead of fresh milk cream?

I will soon go through your recipe, hope so every one like it.

Feb 12, 2015 by Manisha

Can I add sowa instead of kasuri methi?

Response: Hi Manisha, if kasuri methi is not available then skip it. Do not add sowa (suva bhaji) because it has strong flavor and it will ruin the taste.

Jan 24, 2015 by Anita

Fantastic. Healthy and tasty recipe.

Jan 20, 2015 by Anusha Bennur

Hello, should I double the ingredients if I want to prepare for 5-6 members?

Response: Hi Anusha, this recipe is for 2 serving so if you want to prepare it for 5-6 members, multiply all the ingredients by 3.

Dec 30, 2014 by Debobroto Roy

Please do NOT add Kasuri methi. Palak has different aroma and taste which would mess with it.

If quantity of spinach is doubled, should the blanching time be increased accordingly?

Response: Hi Bhavna, if you double the quantity of spinach, time required to blanch the spinach remains same. To blanch it in large quantity, either blanch it in small batches or in a large vessel.

Response: Hi Nandhini, you can not add any other item as an alternative of fresh cream (or malai). If you do not have cream, then skip it. It will taste good however you will not get the creamy taste.

Aug 31, 2014 by ashwin

Hi,
Very good presentation and step by step instructions. I tried it myself. I don\'t have a mixer/grinder... So, I just tried smoothing and palak by hands. But still, taste was too good. Thanks again for sharing recipe....

Aug 20, 2014 by CHEF LIYAKAT

Very good. The stepwise images helps a lot to new cook like us.

Jul 24, 2014 by bhavana

Hi I tried ur recipe it was awesome but the colour of my gravy was not the same as yours, it was very light green... can we use tomatoes in palak paneer

Response: Hi Bhavana, thanks for trying the recipe. Yes you can add tomatoes (pureed or crushed tomatoes) in step-6. I think the photo looks dark in step-10 because main focus was on the white creme while taking the photograph and camera made it look dark green.

Jul 19, 2014 by DEEPSIKHA

Very very good. Its one of the best paneer curry I ever tried.........................
