You may know this recipe as Saag Paneer, but this recipe is actually called Palak Paneer, or so I was told while in India.  In Hindi, palak means spinach, while saag is more general and means “greens”  where a variety of different greens can be used.

No matter what you want to call it, you’ll love the flavor. The luscious creamy spinach sauce can be a vehicle for so many things. Instead of paneer, pair it with pan-seared tofu, chicken, fish or even roasted veggies! You’ll find a hundred uses, and trust me, you’ll want to mop up every single drop. Serve it with fluffy basmati rice or naan bread, or keep it low-carb with cauliflower rice. The best part? The fragrant Palak Sauce can be made in under 30 minutes!

Here, onions, ginger and garlic are sautéed until melting and deeply golden. The spices are added along with frozen spinach and a little water.

You know me, of course I made this with fresh spinach in the beginning, and of course you can do this too. But it’s hard watching a whole pound and a half of baby spinach wilt into practically nothing, and in winter, it just seems more cost-effective in winter to simply use frozen.

Then simply blend it up with yogurt and cashews until you have a silky smooth vibrant green spinach sauce. Palak Sauce!

Pan-sear the paneer for delicious texture before simmering in the sauce.

Or pan-sear tofu, chicken or fish! Or, while making the sauce, you could roast off some cauliflower….just giving you ideas. 😉

Simmer the paneer in the fragrant Indian Spinach Sauce until both sauce and paneer are warmed through, uncovered.

Voila! Palak Paneer, so vibrant and beautiful, with the best aroma ever ….perfect for cozy winter evenings!

Serve Palak Paneer over basmati rice or with naan bread.

Hope you love this Palak Paneer recipe.
