Saag Paneer

Saag Paneer

Saag paneer is all about tender paneer folded through a silky spinach gravy scented with cumin, coriander and garam masala.

Serve it with basmati rice or warm flatbreads for a proper weeknight-free Indian supper that still feels special.

  5. Add cumin, coriander and garam masala, stirring for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
  6. Pour in the spinach purée and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring often.
