PROS: This dish is delicious. The flavor is not at all hot-spicy, but there is plenty of body to it. The cheese is firm. It was really easy to prepare, too. I just tossed the bag into a pot of boiling water for 4 minutes, as recommended by the preparation instructions.

CONS: The texture is lacking. It's almost as if the spinach was pureed; this makes it a little too soup-like. Also, the sodium content seems a little too high. The nutrition info on the package says there is 800 mg/serving (33% daily value) and about 2.5 servings/package; so if you eat this all at once like me, you'll be ingesting about 2000mg of sodium (about 82.5% of the daily value).

But for the texture, I would be happy to find this on my plate in a restaurant.

I have tried various brands of Palak Paneer. Kitchens of India Palak Paneer tastes good. If you are health conscious like me, this one is not for you. This one seems to be soaked in too much oil.

It is quite different from what I purchased back in 2005. The biggest difference is in the size of cheese cubes. They used to be what is shown on the carton. Ditto with gravy, it used to be quite thick. Looks like the efforts to reduce cost has taken a toll on this product too.

I love having this in my pantry. I cook a batch of rice, add some sauce and dinner is served. My 10-year-old son loves it and asks for it several times a week.

I bought a bunch of the Kitchens of India items during a promotional sale and the only one I'd recommend is the butter chicken sauce. If they were tasty I could overlook the salt content for the occasional enjoyment but I'm not loving the taste. This one's consistency is like baby food. I ofter buy similar products, including a hearty Palak Paneer from Trader Joes and those, in my opinion, are much better in flavor and cost far less.

I usually don't write a review but this one I had to.
This was truly the WORST CURRY EVER.
Don't really need to mention for the taste and card board tofu but there's this strong MSG taste that paralyze your tongue that comes after each swallow. I've tried my best to make this thing eatable by adding fresh ingredients from the fridge but nothing helped. It still tasted awful. Keep away from this one. ....well, keep away from all of their products if you can.

We love curry and Indian food, Moroccon food, all types of dishes from different cultures and anything from anywhere that goes on rice. I've bought many dishes from Kitchens of India but this one just fell flat. My first and last impression was "slimy". I cooked it in the microwave and the boil water method and both were inedible to me and every one of my family. It's like a pureed slime with only about 3 chunks of cheese and a few small tidbits more. Not a pleasant taste or texture, little food value, way too high in salt..makes this something I'll never purchase again. I will continue with Kitchens of India, however, as they do have some tasty dishes.

I adore Palak Paneer and covet any chance I get to purchase it. This is not the best, but not bad by any means. Not very much in a packet...two persons at most. I probably will try to buy Amy's frozen palak paneer in the future.

When you love Indian food, but don't have the time to cook it, Kitchens of India is a really great alternative. I have yet to be disappointed in one of their dishes and this one is no exception. The great thing about Indian food is that they are mostly sauce (or "gravy" as they say), so I will cook up some meat or steam up some veggies and add one of these packets to make a fabulous meal. Their really aren't much in the way of veggies in these packets, but that is typical in Indian food, no matter where it comes from. American's tend to use gravy or sauce as the secondary component while Indian's use it as the primary component and sop it up with lots of bread or rice. By steaming or sauteing some additional vittles, you can really stretch one of these packets.

I normally love this dish. It's one of my faves at the local Indian restaurant I frequent. But this version of it, perhaps because of what's required to market something in a foil bag and ship it all over thither and yon, isn't very good.

It's thin, for one thing, and my first packet of it contained a whopping three chunks of cheese. Say what?! I love the cheese! Where's the cheese?! Added to the cheese shortage is the fact that the dish is a wee bit salty, and you've got a palak paneer that doesn't really light my fire. IF I combine it with a biryani from the same company, it's tolerable, but I normally like this dish with nothing more than a couple of slices of naan. Ah, well, live and learn.
