Palak Paneer

Palak Paneer opened a door into a cuisine I'd previously known almost nothing about. The warmly spiced and aromatic flavours are unlike anything in my usual rotation and I mean that positively. Indian cuisine varies enormously by state, religion, and climate. Understanding that context made the dish…

Palak Paneer rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The rich and complex complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using fenugreek leaves correctly takes real skill. spices are used medicinally as well as for flavour in Ayurvedic tradition. I encountered it fi…

Palak Paneer at this place was fine. The deeply layered flavour was there but not distinguished. ghee was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference.

The warmly spiced and aromatic character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with fenugreek leaves or from scaling up production at the expense of quality. spices are used m…

I've now had Palak Paneer prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting. The traditional version emphasises yogurt marinade in the way Indian cuisine varies enormously by state, religion, and climate. The warmly spiced and aromatic character is more pronounced and direc…

I underestimated Palak Paneer.
