Marion you pronounced kasoori methi exactly the way any Indian would pronounce. You were a 💯 correct, amd this was so authentic, lovely 👍
Its lovely to see Marion make Indian food. Palak Paneer is wonderful. Just a tip for people who wanna make it spicy you can grind a couple of green chillies with the spinach. It tastes wonderful. Or you can chop green chillies finely and cook with the onions. This is healthy. Just be careful on the amount of salt as Spinach inherently has a salty flavour.
Great advice - thank you!
Thank you for this advice! I was thinking I would love it more spicy, and so this advice is just what I needed ♥
Fry your paneer in ghee and then add it to the sauce 😍 it's another level ❤️
Absolutely correct. In fact, if you have made the paneer and left it to firm up overnight, you should let it sit in warm water for 25 mins to soften it up. Then when you fry it up it adds a beautiful texture to the dish.
Also Marian, where was the turmeric? Most Indians don't use garam masala in everyday dishes. They use garlic, ginger, asafoetida, salt, sugar, turmeric, chili (whole or ground, sometimes both) ground coriander and cumin. You can use whole seeds for both and top it off some ground coriander and ground cumin too.
We are also known for adding some freshly ground black peppercorns for a subtle hit. Roast them when you roast the cumin seeds, you'll notice the difference in the dish.
Also some lemon juice to balance the dish and its done the traditional Indian Gujarati way Enjoy 😉
Adding the kasuri methi is the final flourish, but you need to hold it in the palm of your hands and rub them together and crumble it into the dish to make it more "fragrant"!
Tip: When frying the onions at the start of the dish, add garlic, ginger, salt and sugar and it makes all the difference! Try it and see 👨🍳 "chefs kiss"
Nice tip! Will do!
@@Marionskitchen Please could you prepare a indian vegetarian biriyanis?
I find it turns the paneer kinda tough , though.
@@prisca.a6795 it shouldn't if you've soaked it warm water and then a light fry to get a nice crust on it. I usually use toothpick and to make a hole in the centre of the cubed paneer and then add it to the sauce. Mix well and enjoy 😉
Gosh, as an Indian I never thought I’d see Marion make this!
Loved how you ensured the Kasoori Methi is always the highlight! Thank you for doing justice to Indian food!
My first palak paneer was one of the most unforgettable thing I've ever tasted. For you to cover this really mean a lot!
Oh Marion, don't waste the whey! It's pure protein and can be used for making yeast breads or rotis or even in gravies 🙂.
My favorite Indian dish, next to butter chicken. Thanks for making this so easy to translate to the home kitchen. Cell phone rule. Love it.
This is a lovely recipe! Love the vibrant colours and textures of Palak Paneer. Here's a small tip: if you can't get kasuri Methi, you can actually grow fenugreek leaves at home, dry them under the sun or using an oven at low heat and there you go, you have kasuri Methi. Fenugreek seeds grow very easily and are also more widely available I guess. Just soak the seeds for about 12 hrs in water and plant them in a small box or in a pot. They will germinate quickly and you can harvest after 2 weeks. Just water them very slightly nothing else needed.
You can keep the whey (water thing) from the paneer and use it to make chapatis too! that’s what my mum used to do and the chapatis became nice and soft
I tried this last month and have made it weekly since. This is now a staple recipe in our household. Thank you for sharing!
I love your recipes Marion and you’ve got this spot on.
Just wanted to let you know that you don’t need to wash away all that goodness from blanching the spinach and the whey from the paneer. For the spinach, Just pop it in a pan with half a cup of water and let it wilt. You can actually blend all that water along with the spinach :)
I wish i read this before making my paneer earlier today!
I guess nutrients wise your right that is why we don't rinse it at my home too but in restaurants they rinse it with cold water to retain the colour
This looks amazing, im definitely going to have a go at making paneer!
I'm also loving the glimpses we are getting of the 'behind the camera' moments lately 🤣
I've always seen foreign chefs do this part a bit differently than indian moms and chefs and it brings loads of difference in the flavour.
1) try adding all the masale in the tomato stage or even the onion stage (but it might burn in the onion stage) - the process is called 'bhun-na'.
2) Also, I've seen chefs making compromises with coriander powder. trust me, it just brings the home flavours when you add it. 3 tsp atleast.
everything else was just perfect ❤️
Thank you for de-mystifying how to make Palak Paneer. It's one of my favorite Indian dishes. I've watched many videos and yours is definitely the less confusing. I'll definitely be making this sometimes this week. Thanks from Chicago. I also liked the suggestion from one of your viewers to fry the paneer!
But you will need more masala/spices! You can add those to the dish & it will fly ( coriander, chilli & tumeric are the essential). Also add spices when you are cooking your onion after the the ginger garlic paste. It's one step that Non - Indians don't do & as a result the taste will be far from the original also doing that prevents spice being raw & or being well cooked.
I am so glad you mentioned Kasthuri Methi in this dish and other indian dishes. It definitely is the secret ingredient which enhances the flavour of these wonderful dishes. Loving the recipes Marion!
I absolutely love this dish. I made it myself this year for the first time in my life and it was good, but I am going to try this version as well. My friend tried makinf this with stinging nettles instead of spinach and he said it was awesome as well (you just need good gloves to work with that weed) :)
Yes, more Indian recipes! The way you break recipes down is so approachable. By the way, props to the person behind the camera - they even make the condensation from the pan look pretty!
This is my favorite Indian dish! Definitely going to make this recipe!
Marion...You are amazing!!! I love Paneer..n u made it look so easy my dear..
God bless u. Love you so much 💗
Marion, how did you know I was craving palak paneer this week? Drooling.
I'm always craving palak paneer, tbh, haha.
Looks good 😋 You missed a trick letting the whey go down the drain. I use it for making bread, as a stock.
This was a nice recipe to email to my daughter in first year university who was craving fresh home made paneer, so difficult to find in Europe. A simple non fuss recipe.
Miss Marion, u r absolutely a hardworking n sweet lady. Your all dishes r yummy 😋
Plz make some balinese n bengali dishes too.
Great video, I’ll make it one of these days 😀… Just shallow fry Paneer on all sides until light golden before chucking them in the sauce. It elevates the taste of Paneer to another level…
Nice recipe Marion. Lovely to see you make Indian recipes. Homemade paneer was pleasantly surprising. :-)
Some extra tips :
- After blanching the spinach, immerse it in ice cold water. This will immediately stop the cooking process and help the spinach stay green.
- While making the spinach puree, don't let it whiz for too long. The heat will end up oxidizing the spinach. You can try adding a few ice cubes to be safe.
- If you like things spicy, blend a couple of green chillies along with the spinach.
- Fry the paneer in ghee. Get a nice sear. This will help protect the paneer from disintegrating once you move it around in the gravy, and also elevate the flavours.
- Dry roast the kasoori methi and crush it between your palms to get a fine and powder-like consistency.
When you're making paneer i use the thumb rule to keep adding lemon juice till all your curds get separated, youll know that you've e gotten all the curds when your whey is transparent
My absolute favorite Indian dish! Now, I can make it on my own. Thanks Marion!
Your cooking of this dish is 10/10 ❤❤. You can use lightly fried paneer but always soak the fried panner in a bowl of water before it goes to the sauce.
Thanks with love
Being from Pakistan, and having eaten loads of Palak Paneer at home myself, this recipe did make me water up :V
Do people from Pakistan know about paneer
@@Robin-yc9fq they are former Indian they all know about that

@@divineflu34567 jyadatar Pakistani yeh sochte hai ki woh log alag mulk banaya meat khane ke liye agar sabji khana hota toh Hindustan mai hi rhte
Palak paneer is a Indian dish
When I was in India, I used to never get enough of it. 😊 Tried to replicate it back home and the only benchmark was the taste I still remember.
Thank you, Marion❤
Hey Marion !
I am a great fan of your contagious smile 😊😊😊
It’s so nice to see you preparing Palak paneer .
I have taken many tips from your recipes . We are vegetarians and I take all possible tips from your recipes for a vegetarian preparation.
My most favs are your sauce for Thai noodles and garlic spaghetti.
Live from Chennai, India ❤️
I’ll definitely have to try this… I’ve always been intimidated by making my own paneer
Am also a professional Chef, loved the way you made cottage cheese, Just two small ingredients missing, for tadka a bit of hing (asafoetida) and a 1 tea spoon of fresh coriander leaves puree... You can also add deep fried Finley chopped garlic for the punch..
you have made it in such a authentic way, love you for this
I am so glad u tried Indian recipe. I love palak paneer ❤️ fry your paneer in oil or ghee and add the paneer in warm water. It makes the paneer soft and tasty.
Marion I have a little request, I wanna learn your version of chicken biryani with cucumber raita
She made Thai style biryani before
@@superpcstation yes I've seen that, wouldn't it be superb if she makes an Indian version too, coz I'm blown away by her excellent palak panwer recipe, it's a veey cozy n comforting Indian dish
Yum! I’ll give it a try soon!
I love making my own paneer. And that spinach is sooo vibrant & green. Love it all. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.
My fave is aloo (potato) palak, or dal palak (using chana dal, i.e., yellow split pea lentil). I've never even had paneer actually, and I never use cream in it as it's unnecessarily a heavy addition.
I'm surprised Uncle Roger has not yet reviewed Marion. She would get the Auntie Marion title a minute in.
Pleased to see my Marion cook Indian food. Your enthusiasm is infectious. One crucial ingredient missing in this Palak Paneer is chickpea flour, or besan, as we call it. It absorbs the extra moisture from the spinach purée and gives the curry a nutty taste. It’s added after the purée and the tomato sauce have been simmering together. Try and feel the difference. 😊
I've never had this before but it looks reeeeeeeealy good!🤤
Try it u will definitely put it in ur diet once a week and it's healthy
Never add salt in the milk directly as it already have sufficient amount of salt and other minerals gets disturbed too...
Made it for dinner last night and it was so delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe ☺️
TBh you made it more desi than many desi's ive seen on youtube. Making paneer from scratch and then using ghee and crushed cumin. I think it was spot on.
Being Indian I was never interested to have Palak paneer but now m craving for it! Thanks Marion ! It’s was so yummy
Heyy Marion! Its greaat to see u making one of the most popular indian dishes, that too everything from the scratch, and it turns out to be perrrfect! Please try making few other classic dishes from India, to let the world know how rich and diverse the taste of India has been. Love from India ❤️❤️❤️
You’re amazing. I veganize your recipes and absolutely love watching you. What’s the brand of your pink pots?
Really enjoyed it . It was fabulous, AWESOME
Looks healthy as well as delicious. Plus the Shrek vibe. I love this.
I made Palak 2 nights ago for the first time. I used feta instead of paneer as per Priya Krishna’s recipe/advice and it was delicious. Just an easy tasty option if you don’t feel like making Paneer or just need to have the palak RIGHT now like me. Can’t wait to try this recipe.
Wow ! Ma'am it's looking Yummy, extremely delicious, authentic & rich - I am Indian . MA'AM YOU ARE A ABSOLUTELY GREAT TALENTED CHEF NO DOUBT
Love your cooking. Actually, your cooking channel is the first thing that I got introduced into TH-cam several TH-cam cooking channels. The way you cook is very clean and neat. Wish, I would get a chance my lifetime to taste your cooking. I love cooking. My native food habit is mixed of South East Asian and Eastern Indian. Moreover, your red lipstick beings out everything. Please keep going and keep uploading frequently 👍🙏🇮🇳.
Very nice, one of our fav side dish for Indian bread or chapathi
Frying the paneer in ghee makes them softer.
The only thing I'd do different is add thr cumin once the ghee has melted properly. The flavours pop out even more. Same with the red chilli. I'd add it after cumin and follow it with OGGT(onion ginger garlic tomato)
Very delicious Indian recipe 😋😋😋😋😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 very healthy
Rub my eyes twice....is Marion making Indian recipe!!!!ohh really !!!amazing dear...wish you venture for North East Indian noodle,momo(dumpling),soup recipes as you are champ in such recipes....you have tried almost every South East asian such cuisine...I dream one day you'll venture for North East Indian unique recipes also ❤️❤️
My fav family dish palak panner healthy and tasty.
North indian dish 🙏🇮🇳
As a Pakistani who cooks everyday traditional meals this really took me back to my moms cooking - Pakistani don’t put cream in it but everything else about this was just so wonderful and all the ingredients were put into the exact order they are supposed to. Thank you I can’t wait to do it your way this week
Finally!!! An indian dish other than butter chicken ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You can try one more version just by topping your dish with chopped garlic and whole red chilli fried in mustard oil and fried it till slightly brown😃 love to see you making Indian dishes…. Our flavourful Indian dishes
Add jullianed ginger, dry chilli and asafoetida fried in ghee on top as garnish. Gives a good kick
this definitely will go into my bucket list thanku marion😄
Hi Marion, you should crush kasoori methi by hands😊more fragrance
Lovely seeing some Indian recipe. There's no need to keep your paneer in the fridge for setting though, and of course if you add few green chillies in the beginning with the garlic, it will taste a whole lot better!
Beautiful presentation by a beautiful lady! Thanks all the teachings.
Definitely going to make paneer after watching this delicious.
One of my fave Indian dishes, can't wait to try this!
Excellent! I know this may make some purists gasp, but I had some super firm tofu in the frig that I needed to use, so I threw that in, as well with the paneer and it was delicious, so for vegans, this might be a plus. The salt is critical, or the flavors will be flat.
Great recipe, I made the cheese last night to make this for dinner tonight. I always save the whey to use as a stock for soups or Dahl.
My favourite dish 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Ghee is clarified butter taken a little further so that it has a little smokey flavour. I prefer texture in the spinach so a processor is usually better for this pulsing as you go. Also green chillies are traditional and they would be blitzed with the palak. And def fry the paneer as mentioned below it make this dish a lot better. Good to see you trying Indian dishes :-)
LOVE LOVE LOVE Palak Paneer, is it possible to use frozen spinach? Btw: LOVE the top you are wearing, where is from? LOVE your work!
So good to see you have taken up this Indian dish and made with great perfection... Unfortunately Indians are giving tips like frying paneer and all, which are actually incorrect.. Palak paneer use paneer in its original form without frying.. So and thumbs up for the good work😊
im glad you clarified that about ghee!
Great to see you dabble with Indian cooking ❤️
Wow, you took the trouble of making your own Paneer, well its not trouble actually but the time and efforts it take.
I also sometimes make my own paneer.
For Palak paneer, you made authentic Indian version of it, you are truly Indian inside.
Also, glad to hear that you are pronouncing the ingredients in Indian way 👍
Wow! 🤗
Dish cooked perfectly, great job 👍
Looks delicious ❤️
Hey glad to see you are showing Indian recipes❤️, also I am super happy that you did not call it curry in whole video but the actual name😄.
Amazing recipe. Just a few simple suggestion
1. while making paneer you can add some spices like dry coriander and chilli flakes and some cumin.
2. You can smoke it after preparing it.
3. Shallow fry panner in ghee before putting it in the sauce. Gives it some nice golden crispy exterior
That was 💯 percent authentic..
I love spinach. I have to try this recipe. Thank you 😊
Always wanted to know how to make this ty 😋 thought it was so much more complicated
Hola Marion thank you so much for your the most delicious yummy recipe and thank you for your video 💗⭐️❤️🏮🧡🎋🌙♥️💤💐❣️☺️💛🎈🧣💚🌺🙏😴🌹🩸🙃🌸🌾🌟🌻♦️🥀🌷🥂
She has earned my respect and love.
Hi Marion! What brand of knives do you use? I’ve always wondered but could never figure it out.
If you fry the garam masala and them add it will taste more better but good to see you cooking palak paneer & the way u made paneer. It's same like our ladies do lol
This is great.... Palak paneer one of my favourite dish
Niiice! More Indian food pls!
I love it! 😋
I just ❤ North Indian cuisines.
Omg palak paneer is my favourite
Good Job 👍🏼 Please make some more videos on Indian Cuisine
If I don't have paneer at home and if I have tofu at refrigerator, I make palak tofu sometimes.
Even palak chicken also you can make but that does have some difference.
Palak paneer goes very well with Parathas. ❤
Fry the paneer cubes till the corners get little red, in ghee! Aahe, that's just die for!
Its great. Just add 1 drop of Kewra Water ( Pandanus Leaves extract water) before serving. It will give a unique mild yet sweet aroma. Resturant secret.
U could add some redchili powder and coriander powder also we add it here in india as a base spice for all dishes anyways good u tried❤️
