Palak Paneer(Paneer in Spinach gravy)

Palak paneer (Hindi: पालक पनीर, Urdu: پلک پنیر) is a common variation of Saag. Palak Paneer is a spinach curry almost always made with spinach whereas Saag is sometimes made with mustard leaves. It is served as a breakfast, lunch or dinner dish. It may be accompanied with lassi, a Punjabi sweet milk drink. Dhabas, or Indo/Pak street restaurants specialize with palak paneer. The difference between Palak Paneer and Saag Paneer is, in some cases, consistency. Palak is more watery compared to a more solid saag.
