Рецепт Easy Saag Paneer
Today I’ve got for you a dish that’s extremely popular all across the globe.A North Indian delicacy,its hard not to love the rich, thick creamy spinach with succulent almost melting Paneer chunks ready to be scooped with an Indian Flatbread!The fresh vibrant color just brightens up any plate and can make anybody hungry!Its a weekly staple in our house since my kids adore this dish so much!
The flavors in Saag Paneer are mild compared to other curries and its a great way to get some Iron and Protein into your diet.You can use fresh or frozen spinach for this dish.I typically pick up fresh Baby Spinach from the salad section in grocery stores that’s pre-washed.Saves time and effort!
The process starts with boiling the Spinach in hot water to just wilt it and then puree it.Once you have the pureed mixture you prepare the sauce that consists of onions, tomato puree and some spices.The pureed spinach and the Paneer is then added into the sauce and simmered.You can use some sour creme or heavy cream to finish off the dish if you like.
