1. Stale Spinach

Use fresh, green spinach for vibrant colour and flavour. If you're using frozen spinach, make sure it's defrosted properly, and squeeze out excess water.

3. Hard Paneer

Rubbery paneer can ruin the palak paneer. Just soak paneer cubes in warm water before adding them to keep them soft and juicy all the time.

4. Skipping Masala Roast

Dry-roasting spices is very important. This step releases their essential oils, increases the aroma, and gives your palak paneer a delicious taste.

5. Improper Blending

For creamy gravy, blanch spinach and blend without water. Take your time to blend it properly, so there are no lumps and a smooth consistency.

6. No Resting Time

If you skip the resting period, flavours will not develop. Let the dish sit for 10 minutes before serving, and enjoy the rich taste of Palak Paneer.
