🌿 Where Comfort Meets Colour
Some dishes whisper their magic.
They don’t arrive sizzling or dripping with oil.
They show up in a quiet bowl — green, fresh, and warm —
…and they stay in your memory.
Palak Paneer is that kind of comfort.
A swirl of spinach, a handful of soft paneer,
A tadka of garlic, and the feeling that everything’s going to be just fine.
It’s the dish that bridges everyday and special.
It’s leafy love with creamy cubes.
