Palak Paneer ka Milan

This is not the regular palak paneer recipe and therefore did not know what to name it. Hubby dear came to the rescue and gave it a stimulating Indian name – Paneer aur Palak ka Milan. The name does not infer that this dish is an aphrodisiac, but the B-Vitamins, folic acid and zinc in spinach and the protein in paneer will surely help. Try this simple recipe today.
