When Kriti of Foodie Monday Bloghop suggested the theme of Saag for this week, I was searching for recipes which uses the palak. Though I would have loved to cook with sarson, it was not possible since I do not get mustard greens in Chennai. Apart from palak paneer, the other recipe which would fall under this theme is this Saag Paneer. Going through the recipe, I was sure this will be loved by everyone at home.
The greens that I have used here is the palak. This recipe uses both a smooth palak gravy as well as some cut palak for a very lovely texture. The paneer I have used here is homemade, you can choose to use a store bought one. Paneer that is used here can be fried, marinated or used as fresh according to our taste.
I cooked this Saag panner without any heavy cream or cream cheese as the original recipe, since I have diet restrictions and the taste was awesome. I think saag paneer tastes best when served hot with hot phulkas. This recipe is particularly for my daughter who cannot stand palak paneer. This aversion for the dish was because she ate a very bad palak paneer in her young age and is not able to accept the fact that palak paneer can be tasty even to date. Vibha try this out and you will love it.

Nice addition of the cashew powder – Creaminess of the paneer combined with the saag – excellent side dish for phuka or naan
