Pro-Tips for Authentic Punjabi palak paneer Mustard Oil Base: Cooking in mustard oil gives that rustic Punjabi dhaba flavor. Ensure you heat the oil until it reaches its smoke point before adding spices. Garlic Dominance: Home-style Punjabi palak paneer uses generous amounts of garlic. Adding half during the initial sauté and a small garlic-ghee tadka on top right before serving takes it to the next level. Soft Paneer: Soak store-bought paneer cubes in warm, salted water for 10 minutes before adding to the gravy to keep them soft.
