Because paneer tastes pretty mild on its own, it's best to serve it with other flavorful ingredients. Like in this palak paneer, it is often served in well-seasoned sauces. Paneer can be used to replace cubes of chicken or other meat in dishes like butter chicken or korma. It can also be cut into cubes and marinated and roasted or stir-fried, and served with salads or grains like noodles or rice.
