Palak Paneer Palak PaneerRecipe

Palak is the Indian name of the Persian Green belonging to the family of Amaranthaceae. It is recorded in history during the 10th Century that it was cultivated and used. One French Queen liked very much this spinach and ordered that Spinach be served in every meal. Based on her name only the dishes made out of Spinach are called Florentine in French.
Though it was a Persian Vegetable, it was carried throughout the World by the Arab Traders. Thus it came to India and Nepal in the 14th Century. This is now prevalent in Southern and Western Asia. In China also it was introduced by the Arab traders and it is called as the Persian Vegetable.
Spinach is very nutritious and as they are available in the spring, when other vegetables are scares it is very popular and widely used.
Knowing the nutritional value of Spinach, it was served in the First World war period to all soldiers. It was even mixed as juice in the wine, which was served to the French soldiers.
Palak is widely grown in India, especially in the Northern India and is widely cooked and eaten. The main dishes prepared out of Palak are Palak Paneer, Chicken Palak, Moong Dhal with Palak, Palak Paratha, Aloo Palak, etc,.
