Dry Palak Paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese In Spinach Gravy) 菠菜奶豆腐



Paneer is a type of fresh cheese common in South Asia, it is an acid-set farmer cheese made by curdling milk with lemon juice or any type of food acid.

A very good source of protein and calcium for vegetarian, could be made into many delicious dishes. Palak Paneer is one of them. I personally like my spinach in this dish in chunk, many recipe asked to puree it, won't change much of the taste, only visual and a little different in texture, perhaps.

奶豆腐其实不是豆腐,它更接近奶酪(cheese),是一种奶制品。做法是把牛奶加醋点凝固之后压制成豆腐状再进行烹饪。是高钙高蛋白食品,也是素食者很好的一个选择。

这道菠菜奶豆腐是北印度很有名的一道菜,做法很多,我也做过好几个版本。我特别喜欢这个干锅版,味道很香,很下饭。

400 g/1 bunch of Spinach (Chopped)
