PALAK PANEER RECIPE ,SIDE DISH FOR ROTI ,PANEER RECIPES

Palak paneer, a creamy paneer dish made using paneer and spinach and other Indian spices. Palak Paneer i have tried a very long back and after that i didn't make it again. Normally we eat rotis for dinner and we don't include any variety spinach for dinner. Last week i went for vegetable shopping with my friends, they all picked the fresh palak and i am also tempted to take one bunch and i made this on a weekend  for lunch along with jeera rice.
