About Palak Paneer Stir-Fry
Spinach is my most favorite among other greens. And especially love baby spinach; I tried to add spinach in my recipes wherever and whenever possible. And because Paneer is also my absolute favorite, I love the combo of Palak and Paneer. I adore the Spinach and Paneer Stir-Fry dish as much as the classic Palak Paneer and Palak Corn. I have adapted this recipe from my Aloo Palak dish. However, making Palak Paneer Stir-Fry is much quicker because we do not need to cook Paneer for longer.

Helpful Tips
I have kept the ratio of Palak and Paneer almost the same. But you can increase or reduce the amount of spinach. Chop the spinach very finely for quick cooking and even coating to Paneer cubes. Use fresh and soft Paneer for the best results. I have used homemade Paneer, but if using store-bought Paneer, soak it in hot or warm water for at least 20 minutes to make it soft. Lemon juice brings a slight tang to the dish. However, you can skip lemon juice if you want. Or add ¼ teaspoon amchur powder instead. Add green chili and garam masala powder as per your taste preference. To make the dish more decadent, you can add 2-3 tablespoon of cream.
