Palak Paneer Pot Pie

Sometimes the simplest ideas are also the most effective ones and this Palak Paneer Pot Pie is one of them!

A homemade version of the popular Indian classic ‘Palak Paneer’ (Palak = spinach and Paneer = fresh cottage cheese) is ladled into ramekin bowls, topped with pie crust, and then baked to golden-crust-goodness. The taste is as sensational as the look is exotic, try it.

One of the things I like about this recipe is – you could go as homemade as you would like. Set the Paneer cheese at home, and make a pie crust from scratch. Or simplify things with a store-bought version of either. The spinach (palak) sauce takes under 20 minutes to make and it’s a good idea to prep ahead and freshly bake the pot pie before serving.  

This creation is a great go-to weekday meal, and an equally impressive entertaining option.
