Palak paneer calories and macros

One katori of palak paneer (150 g, homestyle) has roughly 230 calories, with about 11.4 g protein, 8.2 g carbohydrate, and 17.6 g fat. This is one of the better vegetarian mains to build a meal around: the paneer brings 11 g of complete protein and the spinach brings iron, fibre, and volume for very few calories. The fat is almost all from the paneer and whatever cream or ghee finishes the gravy, which is exactly where home and restaurant versions split. A homestyle katori with light cream sits near 230 calories. A restaurant version, where cream and a ghee tempering are the point, climbs to 320 or higher. Unlike paneer butter masala, palak paneer is not sugar or cashew heavy, so its carbohydrate stays low, which makes it a favourite for higher protein and lower carb Indian eating.
