It tastes super good but this was not very good for my belly. It’s been a couple days since eating it and I’m still not feeling great, this might be due to a mistake on my end

I happen to have some leftover sour cream in the refrigerator that I don’t have a plan for and I don’t have any cream, so I’m going to try that, and maybe not add the lemon juice because I will already have the sour element. I will let you know how it goes. I love this dish at the Indian restaurants!

In reply to Linda. Hi Linda, the 16 oz container is right. It will cook down a lot in volume! cups is a measure of volume, but the package is by weight, so that is the correct 16 ounces.

Question about measurement for 16 oz of spinach.

I have a 16 oz prepackaged box of fresh baby spinach from Whole Foods. It is a lot of spinach. Does this recipe take the entire box, I am assuming in weight, of spinach?

Can I take a measuring cup and firmly put 2 cups of fresh spinach in it for this recipe?

I hate to be frugal and prefer the Palaak Paneer to taste right.

Wow, this is flavorful and delicious!! And healthy. It is better than palak paneer I have had at most Indian restaurants!

Made this for dinner over the weekend, and we really enjoyed it! I have a few other recipes for palak / saag paneer in rotation so I might make a few tweaks to the spice mixture, but one of the things that stands out about this one was the simplified method. Even though it does take the better part of an hour there’s not a lot of chopping, bowls and pans, or multi-tasking required, and most of the ingredients are already in my pantry or freezer. Thank you!

Turned out sooooo good! I was especially generous with the spices and added an extra serrano for my own taste preferences. Served over basmati rice for a meal prep this week. Thanks for inspiring me to finally find where they hide the paneer in my local grocery store (why do they keep cheese in 4 separate areas?)

In reply to Chris. Hi Chris, yes it wouldn't be quite the same flavor, but the texture would be similar and if you enjoy the spinach sauce it should work well.

I just made this and subbed coconut milk for the cream. It was absolutely delicious!!! Great recipe, Kate!
