It’s amazing what a little bit of TLC can do for your spirits. Sometimes as moms we get so caught up with our families needs, that we forget to spoil ourselves a little. Normally I would first try to sort my dinner menu so my family don’t go starving but today I put myself first and that felt wonderful.
Palak Paneer
Try it sometime ladies. If you’re having a bad day trying soaking in a bath with your favourite scented candles, your favourite book, have a pedi done or get your hair done. Put on your favourite lipstick and your favourite pair of shoes, I promise it’s all you need to lift your spirits. Well seeing I used most of my morning pampering myself I had to try to make a very quick dinner. It had to be something that we can heat and eat. What better than palak paneer with yeast free naan bread, who said you couldn’t have a restaurant quality dish in an hour? This dish is healthy, it’s delicious and it’s super easy to prepare. A few of the health benefits is that it improves blood glucose levels, boosts bone health and it’s rich in potassium and iron. So here’s just a few reasons why you should eat more spinach.
My first choice is roti or naan bread with any Indian curry, but I suppose rice works well too. Naan bread is easily accessible in most major grocery stores too so if you really crave some just pop into your local supermarket, you will be sure to find some. I did add cream to my dish although often I don’t. Feel free to use it or totally omit it if you wish. As usual please use more or less chilli, according to your preference, as you all know I always prefer more. You can fry the paneer and add it to the dish or you don’t have to. The choice is up to you. I did not fry my paneer like I usually do as I was trying to make a dish with minimal effort. If have the time you can brown your paneer in a little butter and then add it to your spinach. You can use store-bought paneer or if you can use my recipe for Paneer.
