Re: Palaak Paneer Recipe

i dont understand why does it tasts like saag?? put some mashed green chilies..

17

Re: Palaak Paneer Recipe

but green chilies are used in saag and not palak... if the husband thinks the palak is saag it could be because of the green chilies...?

Re: Palaak Paneer Recipe

Kinzz... I'm going to get married sometime next year inshAllah.

green paste? I shall try that.

Last time I made it, i think i used a national spice mix. It tasted like plain old saag not palaak paneer. Even the frozen kind tastes better than mine. :(
