Paalak Paneer Bhurji is a delicious Indian curry made with finely chopped spinach and freshly grated cottage cheese with a hint of processed cheese .
This dish is one of the special dishes which features in my party / guest menu. I posted this for the Sindhi Thali . To tell you the truth this is not a traditional Sindhi dish , but since I have been making it for years now along with traditional dishes I have classified as a fusion Sindhi dish .
This is one dish that your guests or family will love . Spinach is something that the kids do not like without paneer , here both paneer and cheese out power the spinach and make it a creamy and cheesy dish with a wonderful flavor .
The tips to get a perfect delicious dish is one the spinach should be chopped very fine . Two do not over cook the dish . Three add cheese right before serving . And lastly do not leave out the kitchen king masala . It definitely lends the dish a scrumptious flavor . With these simple tips you will get a fantastic Paalak Paneer Bhurji .

Finger licking bhurji. Addition of cheese before serving is interesting.
I love paneer and spinach combination. And serving with grated cheese on top really takes it to next level. It looks amazing Vaishali.
Nice addition to paneer and make it more healthy…the bowl looks so tempting
What an interesting recipe! I have to try it. Everyone loves spinach and paneer in my house so this will be a hit. BTW, your thali looks awesome!
Just give me some rotis, am ready to clean that bowl of irresistible palak paneer, lipsmacking here already. Been a while i prepared palak paneet at home. And that thali looks astonishing.
Finger licking thali. So pretty and tempting. Adding cheese to any dish will make any kid enjoy the dish. Nice way to prepare spinach and paneer. Something different.
I am salivating at that burji! Palak is a recent favorite and I am enjoying them to my heart’s content in the form of palak paneer at least once a week. I must take a twist and make this burji once… Looks so yum!
Wow Vaishali , this one is simply awesome..I have not tried both these as a burji..Is this eaten as a side dish for roti? The whole thali is so sinful. I am bookmarking for later!
Palak and paneer is a great combo, the burfi looks so delicious. Btw, the thali platter looks awesome.
We love the palak and paneer combination in any format. The thali looks so tempting.
I love this twist to the classic Palak paneer. Adding cheese on top just makes it awesome….I wish I could grab it from the screen!
That is a very interesting version of palak paneer. I personally love grated paneer over cubed and this dish sounds just perfect with grated cheese.
Awesome thali! Eyeing the lotus root veggie. As for this Palak paneer bhurji it is just awesome! Will go well in the current food profile we are trying to maintain. Bookmarking.
I would love this for breakfast
I make paneer bhurji but never added palak in it ever, will try it again and see how it goes. I am sure it would taste amazing too.
Awesome dish with palak and paneer like burjji.
