This recipe is really great and easy for beginners (like me) I tried this recipe last night and it was amazing how easy it was to make. I just made a few adjustments (for the same serving of 2 ppl) I didn't add the ginger (I didnt have it on hand), I cut only half of an onion and I put one table spoon of butter, but I guess it goes according to what taste you like. I also added corn kernels to the spinach and potato, since I like the taste of corn and spinach. Thanks for this recipe!

Fantastic recipe! I didn’t have waxy potatoes on hand but it still worked well with regular potatoes. I also cooked the ingredients differently in order to brown the onions and fry the spices as is common in Indian cooking. My cooking method is as follows: First saute the garlic, ginger, onions and green chili together till the onion started to brown. Then add the spinach and cook till it wilts and puree. Cook the potatoes without any turmeric or salt till almost done (I just cut into cubes and microwaved for about 5 minutes.) In a deep fry pan fry the cumin seeds for about 20 seconds till they start to lightly brown and then add the turmeric and other powdered spices and fry for about 20 seconds to bring out the flavor. Add the spinach-onion paste, salt, and potatoes and cook for a few minutes for the flavors to absorb and the potatoes to fully cook.

this was a very nice variation on the usual paneer palak that i make using pretty much this method. i followed your recipe exactly, and did include the cream (but of course!) thanks for posting - it didn't occur to me to put together something like this till i saw your recipe, and being snowed in and unable to go out to replenish my veggie store, it was a very good recipe to make do with whatever i had at home.
