Manjusha's Palak Paneer
40 mins
Palak Paneer is a recipe of UP and very popular in UP, Pujab and many parts of India. There is one thing in my recipe which makes it special. I add some heavy cream at the end and this adds a rich creamy taste to this recipe. Palak Paneer goes well with roti and naan.
