Umesh's Palak Paneer (Vg)

Title: Serves 2 (675g)

A classic Indian curry, rich with spinach and creamy paneer

Umesh’s Palak Paneer bursts with vibrant flavour, thanks to his generous use of fresh spinach and aromatic herbs. Cubes of soft, creamy paneer soak up a tomato and spinach base that’s gently spiced, then finished with coriander, mint, and a touch of cream for balance. The result is an authentic Indian curry that feels both comforting and nourishing.

If you’ve never tried it, Palak Paneer is one of India’s most loved vegetarian dishes – protein-rich paneer in a smooth, fragrant sauce that’s mild enough for newcomers, yet layered with flavour for curry lovers. At 675g, Umesh’s serving is generous enough for two, making it an easy way to enjoy restaurant-quality Indian food at home, without hours in the kitchen. Just add naan or basmati rice and you’re set for a true Indian dining experience.

About Your Cook

Hi, I'm Umesh!

My passion for food has come from my mother, she is a great cook and has won many awards for cooking in India. When I was small, around 15 or 16 years of age, I used to type out her recipes on a typewriter so that she could mail them to the magazines for competitions. Once when she was not there, I looked up her recipe book and made chilli chicken and fried rice and I was thrilled at my achievement.

FAQ's

Paneer is a fresh, unaged cheese that's a cornerstone of Indian vegetarian cooking. Unlike aged cheeses, paneer has a mild, creamy flavour and firm texture that absorbs spices beautifully without melting when cooked. It's incredibly popular because it provides substantial protein for vegetarian diets while offering a satisfying, meat-like texture. Umesh uses authentic paneer that's soft yet holds its shape perfectly in the rich palak (spinach) curry.

This palak paneer works beautifully either way! The 675g serving is generous enough to serve as a complete main course for two people when paired with basmati rice, naan, or roti. However, it also makes an excellent centrepiece for a traditional Indian feast alongside dal, raita, and other curries. Many customers love serving it family-style with multiple accompaniments for an authentic Indian dining experience at home.

It’s mild to medium in spice. You’ll taste warming spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala, with a gentle kick of green chilli that’s softened by cream and fresh herbs. It’s far less spicy than a vindaloo or madras, but more flavourful than a korma – making it approachable for most palates.

    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    A versatile biryani

    This is such a big serve of biryani, we have it as a side and even eat this for breakfast with a fried egg. It makes a great lunch too with a handful of baby spinach and avocado!

    Would like to order again

    We enjoyed This Biryani a lot as it's not something we would cook ourselves. It was the double size and although it didn't appear to be that large, there was a generous amount of chicken packed in.
