Healthy Kashmiri-style Palak Paneer recipe

By / Fitpiq Team, Health Tips, Healthy Recipes, Weight Loss Recipes, Winter Recipes

🥬 Healthy Kashmiri Palak Paneer (Serves 2–3)

⭐ What makes it Kashmiri & healthy?

  • No onions or garlic (traditional Kashmiri Pandit style)
  • Uses fennel (saunf) and dry ginger (sonth)
  • Minimal oil
  • No cream or butter
  • Gentle heat from Kashmiri red chilli

🧾 Ingredients

  • Spinach (palak) – 250–300 g
  • Paneer – 150 g (preferably low-fat, cubed)
  • Mustard oil – 1 to 1½ tsp
  • Cumin seeds – ½ tsp
  • Fennel powder (saunf) – 1 tsp
  • Dry ginger powder (sonth) – ½ tsp
  • Kashmiri red chilli powder – ½ to 1 tsp (for color, mild heat)
  • Asafoetida (hing) – a pinch
  • Curd (low-fat, whisked) – 2 tbsp (optional but traditional)
  • Salt – to taste
  • Water – as needed

👩‍🍳 Method

  1. Prepare the palak
    • Wash spinach well.
    • Blanch in boiling water for 1–2 minutes, then transfer to cold water.
    • Grind into a smooth paste without adding water. Set aside.
  2. Lightly cook paneer (optional but healthier)
    • Heat a non-stick pan and dry roast paneer cubes for 1–2 minutes, or soak in warm water for softness.
  3. Make the base
    • Heat mustard oil until just smoky, then lower heat.
    • Add cumin seeds and hing.
    • Add fennel powder, dry ginger powder, and Kashmiri chilli powder (mix quickly so it doesn’t burn).
  4. Add curd (optional)
    • On very low heat, add whisked curd slowly, stirring continuously to avoid splitting.
  5. Add palak paste
    • Add spinach puree and salt.
    • Simmer for 5–7 minutes on low heat until well cooked and aromatic.
  6. Add paneer
    • Add paneer cubes and a little water if needed.
    • Simmer for another 3–4 minutes.
  7. Finish
    • Adjust seasoning.
    • No cream or garam masala needed—let the flavors stay subtle.

🥗 Nutrition Tips

  • Use tofu instead of paneer for a vegan or lower-fat version
  • Mustard oil helps absorption of iron from spinach
  • Avoid overcooking to preserve nutrients

🍽️ Serve with

  • Steamed rice
  • Kashmiri-style mujaddar dal
  • Phulka or jowar roti
