Keto Curried Spinach Paneer Skillet

This is a great low-carb dinner recipe for two. And it’s so simple! It’s just soft paneer cheese dunked in creamy curry sauce and cooked with spinach. That’s it. It’s easy to scale up which makes it perfect for meal prep, lunch boxes and batch cooking.

I used our homemade Curry Simmer Sauce which is mild and kid-friendly but you could always add heat by using cayenne pepper or fresh chillies. Fresh spinach can be substituted with frozen and drained spinach, collards or chard. Finally, instead of paneer cheese you could use halloumi or diced chicken unless you are following a vegetarian keto diet.

This easy keto dinner can be served on its own, with extra cauliflower rice or — if you need to keep your carbs low — serve it with shirataki rice. Enjoy!

  2. While the curry sauce is cooking, cut the paneer into about 1 inch (2 cm) pieces. Wash, drain and roughly chop the spinach. If you use baby spinach you don’t need to chop it. If you use frozen spinach instead, defrost and drain all the liquid.
