TIPS & TRICKS:
* If you like your food extra spicy, add some red chilly powder while adding your masalas and salt.
* If you are short on time, instead of making fresh paneer, you can use ricotta cheese as an alternative.
* Some people also use mushrooms or boiled potatoes instead of paneer or ricotta cheese in the palak (spinach).
