I Love Palak Paneer (Spinach and Cheese Curry) image

This luscious spinach and cheese dish comes from Northern India, the home of paneer, a fresh cow-milk cheese similar to ricotta. It's sold near the feta and haloumi in supermarkets, either of these two cheeses can replace paneer here, but the results wont be exactly the same. When I made this, I did use a soft feta, which melted into the spinach and gave me the most creamy rich curry you can imagine. I also upped the amount of the garam masala, to give a hotter result, and I sauteed some shrimps in garlic and butter, and served them with the curry, we enjoyed an excellent meal! The recipe is taken from Australian Womens Weekly, New Curries UPDATED to add ( thank you Peggy :) ), that previously step 2 said to add half the spinach at that step, I've changed it to say, add all the spinach.

This palak paneer recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too thin and the paneer was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This palak paneer recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices, such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric. I also found that the sauce was a bit too thin. I would recommend simmering it for longer to thicken it up.

This palak paneer recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
