Palak paneer (pronounced [paːlək pəniːɾ]) or palak chhena[1] is an Indian dish[2] consisting of chhena[3] or paneer in a thick paste made from puréed spinach, called palak in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, and other Indian languages.[4][5][6]
The terms palak chhena and saag chhena are sometimes used interchangeably in restaurants in the Anglosphere. However, saag chhena is different from traditional palak chhena in that it contains other green leafy vegetables, such as mustard greens, whereas palak paneer only contains spinach.[7][8][9] Dhaba restaurants often specialize in palak chhena.
