Palak paneer is one of the most loved north indian dish that is eaten with roti , parantha , naan, rice .It is easy and quick to make .Palak is loaded with nutritients and low in calory. Dark leafy vegetable like spinach is important for skin , hair and bone health They also provide protien , iron , vitamins and minerals .Paneer is a feast and delight for the vegetarians . I always make fresh paneer at home and store in the fridge . It is so simple to make . In 1 kg full milk after boiling add 1/2 cap of bottle cover of clear vinegar or 2 tbs lemon juice or 1 cup curd , when you find green water separating in the milk it is curdled . Seive through thin cloth or nylon paneer chalni [ i use paneer nulon chalni ] . Keep it for 1/2 an hour and then take out from chalni and keep in little water in the fridge . It remains fresh for 2-3 days . Home made paneer is always tasty and fresh and gives very good flavour to the vegetable. .
