Keto Spinach and Paneer

8 ratings

This quick and easy keto take on saag paneer is fragrant and aromatic with spices and soft paneer cheese.

If you cannot find paneer cheese in your grocery store this could be substituted for ricotta or halloumi, or for a vegan take, try using tofu pieces.

Perfect as a dish in its own right or served alongside curried chicken pieces. The dish will serve two as the base of a main meal or 4 as a side dish - make sure to adjust your macros accordingly!

                I think substituting tofu for the cheese reduces the calories 83%.
