About This Dish
Palak Paneer is the vegetarian dish that wins over even dedicated meat-eaters. At SPICE ROOM, our version features silky-smooth spinach gravy studded with golden cubes of fresh, house-made paneer cheese.
We blanch fresh baby spinach to preserve its vibrant green color and nutrients, then blend it into a velvety puree with sautéed onions, garlic, ginger, and green chilies. The secret to our Palak Paneer is a touch of cream and butter that rounds out the earthy spinach flavor without masking it.
Our paneer is made fresh in-house – soft, creamy, and lightly pan-fried until golden on the edges. Combined with the spinach gravy and a tempering of cumin and dried red chilies, each spoonful delivers protein, iron, and incredible flavor. Paired with garlic naan or steamed basmati rice, it's a complete, satisfying meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Palak Paneer healthy?
Yes! Palak Paneer is rich in protein from paneer, iron and vitamins from spinach. It's naturally gluten-free and provides a complete vegetarian meal when paired with rice or naan.
What is paneer?
Paneer is a fresh Indian cheese made by curdling milk with lemon juice or vinegar. It's firm, doesn't melt when cooked, and has a mild, milky flavor. We make ours fresh in-house daily.
Can I get Palak Paneer vegan?
We can substitute tofu for paneer and use coconut cream instead of dairy cream. Just let us know when ordering for a delicious vegan version.
Is Palak Paneer spicy?
Our Palak Paneer is mild (2/5). It has warm spices and a subtle green chili kick, but the cream and spinach keep it gentle. Great for those who prefer milder dishes.
