Complete Nutrition & Micronutrient Profile (per 650 g cooked box)

Our Palak Paneer is a rich, comforting vegetarian curry made from slow‑cooked spinach, soft paneer, chickpea flour, cashew, and warming spices — prepared with care, not shortcuts.

Each 650 g box provides around 36 g of high‑quality vegetarian protein and delivers close to 100% of daily calcium needs, making it a deeply nourishing, strength‑building meal.
