Palak Paneer

I spent an afternoon making Palak Paneer from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting tamarind right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The tangy and vibrant result was rewarding once I got it right. Indian cuisine varies enormously by state, religion, and cli…

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Palak Paneer.

I grew up eating Palak Paneer and have strong opinions shaped by memory. The version here triggered that recognition in the first bite — the warmly spiced and aromatic was right, fenugreek leaves was handled the way it should be. spices are used medicinally as well as for flavour in Ayurvedic tradi…
