Palak Paneer is one of India’s most beloved vegetarian curries, and it also works perfectly as a smart meal-prep option for busy households. This make-ahead version combines fresh spinach with protein-rich paneer and a light cashew base for creaminess. This curry is not very spicy nor too creamy, and can be portioned into containers or frozen for weeks. With just a quick reheat, you will have a nourishing, iron-rich curry ready to pair with rotis, naans, or rice.
