Day 119: Palak Paneer

Another one of my Indian (food) favorites: palak paneer is definitely a winner! It's packed with spinach and the paneer adds taste and texture.

No paneer? No problem, you can use tofu!


Though it doesn't give the same flavor as paneer, it'll still taste great.


Palak basically translates to spinach paneer, so the name definitely fits! :)

You can eat this with naan, paratha, roti, or rice.
