Palak Paneer Recipe (with a twist)
Description
Traditionally the gravy is made from Spinach but I have incorporated Coriander leaves, Green Peas and Kasuri methi in it, which makes it healthier and much tastier! This recipe is the highlight of every dinner party I have and you’ll surely keep your friends guessing what ingredients went into it 😉
