Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Saag (Paneer) 1/4 cup ghee or olive oil 1/4 cup minced ginger 2 onions 8 cloves minced garlic 1 and 1/2 LBS. Spinach or green leafy vegetable 1 peeled tomato 1 Tbsp. toasted cumin seeds 1 tsp. black pepper salt to taste Saute ginger, onions and garlic in large deep pan. Add spinach, tomato and spices. Low simmer until ingredients are one consistency. Blend Saag in blender. Serve with Basmati rice. This is traditionally made with Paneer. Paneer is milk curds cut in squares about 3/4 " square. Paneer is made by boiling milk and adding lemon juice which splits the milk into curds and whey. Drain the whey and cut in cubes. Some people use tofu instead of paneer. I personally leave both out.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Saag is one of my favorite foods, and I've somehow, never made it at home (maybe because our local Curry in a Hurry makes it so well). This recipe looks surprisingly easy. Can frozen spinach be substituted? If using fresh, must you chop off the stems?
