If you love garlic then this recipe will be a hit for you. Fresh cottage cheese and spinach make this dish so scrumptious and delicious. Full of simple flavours with being low on spices. Most recommended recipe for those who love less spicy dishes.
The more garlic you use the more flavour enhances. As the name suggests garlic palak paneer.
Cottage cheese is dipped in spinach puree, let me tell you if you add more spices this dish turns a bit bitter so be gentle with you masala.
