Whenever I get spinach, I either make this dish that hails from northern India or make this South Indian dish called Keerai Kootu. These two are my absolute favorite recipes with spinach! Instant Pot Chana Palak, and Garlicky Peas Spinach Fenugreek Curry are two other vegetarian spinach recipes that I often make at home. Spinach - We need spinach leaves, not the stems. Baby spinach is also a great option to use. Paneer - While you can easily make paneer at home, store-bought paneer works great. Thaw it first if using frozen paneer. Whole spices - cinnamon and bay leaf. Spice mixes - garam masala and Kasuri methi. They give a nice aroma and flavor to the dish. Basic essentials - Onion, garlic, ginger paste and, Jalapeno and Cashews. So if you have lots of fresh spinach and want to make something before it goes bad, then give this recipe a try!
This palak recipe tastes best with any flatbread or steamed rice. But for health-conscious people, you can serve this with a bowl of cooked quinoa or cauliflower rice. Adding sugar while blanching the spinach helps retain the green color and helps cut the bitterness. You can add roasted veggies instead of paneer or tofu or even use this spinach puree base as a pasta sauce! Instead of paneer slices, add paneer crumbles on top and enjoy it as a hearty spinach soup! Prepare the sauce and top it with your favorites like roasted veggies or meat! The options are endless. This dish is perfect for mixed households where some want vegan food and some want meat.
