I love Indian food, like really really love it. This low-carb and keto vegetarian Instant Pot Palak Paneer is no different, it’s easy, super flavorful, and packed with electrolytes from spinach. Plus the green colour makes it a fun dinner option for Halloween.

We’re using the Instant Pot in this recipe but you can also use a regular large pot if you don’t own and Instant Pot. You’ll just need to cook it for a couple more minutes longer to break down the spinach.

The toasted cumin cauliflower rice is an easy and delicious low-carb side to serve alongside the Palak Paneer and if you want to make some keto bread, I highly recommend it!

This meal is relatively high in carbs so keep that in mind if your net carb limit is very low, especially if you plan to have more than two meals on that day.
