Palak paneer (Hindi: पालक पनीर, Urdu: پالک پنیر) is an Indian and Pakistani dish consisting of spinach and paneer (Indian farmer's cheese) in a thick curry sauce based on pureed spinach. It is a popular vegetarian dish. Palak paneer is one type of saag (which can also be made with mustard leaves). Palak paneer may be somewhat more watery than saag paneer.
This dish is mainly served with roti, naan or boiled rice.
Palak paneer may be accompanied by lassi, a Punjabi sweet milk drink. Dhaba restaurants specialise in palak paneer.
