Palak-Paneer( Cottage cheese cooked with spinach)

This is one of the well known Indian paneer/cottage cheese dish.Here paneer is cooked in spinach gravy.One thing I like about this recipe is that it does not contain much oil and other spices yet it looks and tastes wonderful.What is better than home made paneer, so check out my another post of How To Make Paneer At Home.
