Palak means spinach and paneer means cottage cheese.This is a popular North Indian dish and is famous all over the globe.As kids we were exposed to very few North Indian dishes out of it, this was one of them or can say only dish.This used to be my both the sisters favourite dish.Palak has a rich source of iron and Paneer has a great source of protein so this is a very healthy dish and best way to serve the kids since it has a vibrant green color too.
