I love palak paneer, but my family complains whenever I make it. When everyone is gone for the day, I’ll make a quick version and be happy because there is just enough left for lunch the next day.
Start by squeezing out water from spinach. Set aside.
In a medium non-stick saute pan, heat oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add garlic and mix for a second or two. Add onion and mustard and saute for a minute or two. Don’t let the garlic burn. Add paneer cubes, cayenne, nutmeg, kosher salt, and a little black pepper, frying for a few minutes to get a little color on the cheese. Add the spinach and water and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
I like mine with cumin-scented rice. It is sooo good.

Hi, Twinks! If you want to make a more traditional version, you should check out Indian Simmer’s Palak Paneer (on TK). It is very similar to the one my friend’s mum taught me to make. My version is a little more like Saag Aloo (spinach and taters). She also has a lovely tutorial on making homemade paneer, if you need a nudge. I really love her blog!

Oh boy, I’ve wanted to find a recipe for this! Looking forward to making the paneer too. Thanks!
