Notes
- Palak is of iron rich food. Adding tomato helps for better absorption of iron in the body. So while making any palak recipe, add sour veggie like tamarind, tomato, etc.
- While adding Kasuri methi, crush it with hands and add in any recipe. Kasuri methi gives a nice flavor to the dish.
- If you cook paneer longer, it becomes chewy and loses its softness. So cook the paneer for just about 4-5 minutes.
