Mushroom Palak paneer is a very popular dish in my household, as everyone loves the paneer as well as the mushrooms and I like it because they are eating palak (Spinach) without fussing about it.
You can make the curry itself and serve it with roti/paratha or make a cup of rice and mix it with the curry and serve it
