GIVING A GREENER twist to the classic paneer recipe, executive chef Arabinda Seth of Fairfield by Marriott Kolkata has curated the Hara Moong Palak Paneer. The simple recipe uses shredded spinach instead of the puréed version, while the green gram adds a delicate crunch to the dish that does not take long to prepare. Serve it with steamed rice or roti to have a healthy and tasty new year dinner at home during the lockdown, suggests the chef.
