Palak Paneer

My most favorite green which I incorporate on a daily basis is palak.
This green leafy vegetable is eaten on a regular basis at my house in all the possible ways. Palak paneer is one dish that my hubby and kids love it. When this is on the menu I am sorted with parathas and raita. Hope you all like this easy and delicious recipe.

I hail from Mumbai city-the city of dreams (my Bambaiya spirit will be reflected on my blog). Being married to a foodie, staying in 3 culturally and gastronomically different parts of the world (India, Switzerland and Singapore) in a span of 14 years, and being a mother of 2 very lovely (but extremely “picky”) daughters has just added to the diversity of my cooking. I am obsessed about my sketches and paintings which reveal the inner self in me
