I'm an Indian American who can cook and loves Palak Paneer. Your recipe is very similar to mine and looks super delicious! One tip I'd give you: Avoid frying the powdered spices in ghee or oil by itself since it could burn the spice and you'll lose it's flavor. Instead I would recommend, adding the cumin seeds (and other whole spices like cinnamon sticks or corriander seeds) first (let it pop for like 10 seconds), add the garlic paste, then add the tomato, peppers and onion mix, then the ginger, then the powdered spices. You can even add the powdered spices when you add the pureed spinach which is what i do. That said, there's no right or wrong way to make food so if you like what you're making, definitely stick to it but if you want to experiment, try this out! .

4:15 the idea of blanching is that you're only partially cooking the veggies because totally uncooked veggies are a crunchy salad while overboiled veggies are a mush for babies. If you quickly boil something so that the color gets deep on the outside then quickly cool it down, you get both the cooked flavor on the outside and retain a satisfying firm texture on the inside. You also get a balance of the rich but muted flavors of cooked veggies with the bright vegetal flavors of uncooked veggies. For palak paneer you're pulverizing the spinach into mush eventually but I'm sure the texture is different if the leaves still have some structure to them before blending.
At home I sometimes do a version of this by just steaming broccoli or whatever for 30 seconds then setting it aside spread out to air-cool while I do other stuff. With the spinach leaves, they wither so quickly that I can imagine that the cold water bath could be necessary to prevent over-cooking from residual heat.

As a punjabi myself, I honestly felt in love with your outfit having "punjabi" alphabets on it, and seeing a tutorial of one of the best north Indian dishes by an American guy literally blew me up fr XD... nd its great to see the way you embrace our indian/punjabi culture ( BTW your palak paneer looks super ammazinggg ngl ๐)

If you have trouble finding paneer cheese, here's a tip: It's super easy to make yourself: just take whole or even fresh milk, add some lemon juice to make it fall out. Then strain the result through a kitchen cloth, so only the firm part stay behind and then close the cloth up tight and put it into your fridge for a few hours with sth heavy on it. And there you got your fresh, selfmade paneer cheese! =)

Certainly keep doing this! As an Indian, itโs heartwarming to see my culture be represented by such a big channel! Personally this isnโt how my family makes it, but if it works for you I love to see it. If you like your paneer to be softer, I would recommend not cooking it on the pan, and letting it thaw outside for a few hours before you start but ultimately, you do you!

We won't do that Sir ๐ Please ! We love your channel and all that you do. Knowing or not knowing a dish doesn't matter. What matters is you get the dish what you wanted. There will always be an Indian household or the other in the U.S (spec. California) to make you the Palak Paneer you craved for ๐ Jai H

ALRIGHT, trying this new "Filler segment" and Congratualtions #INDIA You are the FIRST country featured. One thing that transcends cultures and everyone in this world loves is FOOD. Palak Paneer is one of my favorite foods. So much that I had to learn how to make it. It's like one of the only 5 things I can cook. I'd love to make it for Indian people and see if they approve. Otherwise, what else do you want me to attempt to make?
