This dish is a twist to the normal palak paneer recepie. As the name says ‘Lasooni’ ; lots of garlic is added to give it a rich flavour and taste. You can even make this recepie using fenugreek          ( Methi leaves) . I have added fresh cream to the gravy , instead of cream coconut milk can also be used. To make it vegan substitute paneer with tofu and cream with almond milk.
