My garlicky Saag Paneer recipe is a family favorite! Palak Paneer, or Saag Paneer, as it’s called in some Indian restaurants, is an Indian creamed spinach recipe with chunks of pan-fried Indian cottage cheese (paneer.) It’s the perfect vegetarian dish, and it’s so good served over basmati rice or with naan!
This Beginner friendly recipe is simple and easy.

One of my favorite Panner and Saag dishes thanks for this lovely receipe
I’ve tried this from my local Indian restaurant and really enjoy it. I have some left over and will have it as breakfast. It’s so comforting to eat.
I just had leftover saag paneer for breakfast too haha
Such a delicious recipe!
My first time ever cooking a saag and paneer dish I was so scared as my mother in law is such an expert at it but wow just wow I can’t wait to cook it for the family!Thank you so much for sharing this recipe definitely a staple in my house from now!❤
My wife's very favourite dish (She's a life-long vegetarian) Thank you for the step-by-step video and recipe - it's absolutely wonderful! It's a HIT in our family home. Owen
My favorite dish. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure 😊
Very easy and tasty recipe. Thanks for sharing!
I made this recipe yesterday as a side dish for a Lamb Jalfrezi, it was absolutely fantastic! Thank you, I also made the vegetable rice. Your instructions are so easy to follow.
I love that you give exact measurements! I am always wondering what exactly is a small onion.
This recipe is fantastic. Made it a few times now and always refer back to this video
it must smell amazing
This is my most favorite Indian dish. You've inspired me to try making it myself!
Made it tonight. Delicious
Glad you liked it!!
I've always been intimidated to make this at home - wow delicious!
Thank you for providing variations and tips for customizing the recipe to suit different preferences. It's great to see how versatile this dish can be!
this recipe video was excellent, excellent instructions
I love that ingredient lineup!
Me too!! Thanks
If I haven’t commented before, I’m doing it now! Great recipe. Great video. Thank you.
Very nice and clear demo. Professionally shown and made. Bravo! And well made with fried Paneer and vibrant color of spinach. Mmmmmm. Pls post more Vegetarian dishes also. Thx
Made this today got the ingredients this morning I bhun bhunning method makes 😊😊
Thank you for clear instructions
Most welcome 😊👍
Have had paneer in fridge for a while, now have a great recipe for it 👍
Delicious - finally found a saag paneer recipe that works and it so simple! I used frozen spinach and also substituted halloumi for paneer. If anyone else decides to make a similar sub, make sure to reduce the added salt significantly, as the halloumi will already be pretty salty.
Good
So glad I found your channel. Making this for sure this weekend. I made your Tikka Masala last night and with my own korma recipe... this was like phenomenal! Thank you so much! You should have a restaurant if you don't. Your curry is the best I've ever made at home, saves me a ton on going out to eat curry when I can make it as good at home.
Wonderful to hear this 😊👍
Looks great. I really want to make this sometime. It's one of the only spinach things I like
Made this today. Very good recipe, loved it!
This looks amazing! Can't wait to try it myself. But about the name, wouldn't it be a palak paneer, as there was only spinach leaves? Thank you!!
I tried this today. Came out amazing. I added half a tea of cinnamon also, and it was great!
Wonderful!
Hmm i have paneer in fridge and a bag of spinache. Guess ill be following this recipe soon.
I am a visual learner, could we see more of you moving in the kitchen and making the food? I have a hard time following the verbal instructions without missing steps. Seeing more of your cooking movements in your small kitchen helps.
This is how I make mine. First curry I attempted and also my favorite. Still getting on and off results making my own paneer. Thank you, this was informative and enjoyable to watch as always.
No problem at all 😊👍
Thank you, for your clear explanation of one of my favorite dishes.
Cooking this way was new to me. But thanks to you a piece of cake!
Wonderful to hear this 😊🙌
Looks amazing Shamza, thanks for explaining so well and showing step by step as always.
My pleasure 😊
Hi it seems very easy cooking method👌
Oh it is, please do try it for yourself 😊👍
@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes inshallah
I have just made this having just got in from work. I used tofu instead of paneer and home made cashew cream as I have a problem with dairy. I can say, though, that this is absolutely delicious and simple to make.
Thank you for this.fantastic recipe.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing this 😊👍
Absolutely gorgeous and ur saag looks amazing too
What an excllent recipe my beutiful sister. Love and respect to you and your family from Scotland 😄 from Khalid
I made this and its really good
That looks sooooooo good. Cooking for dinner tonight.
Hope you enjoyed it 😊
Omg I tried your recipe and it was a winner! So tasty!!!
Glad you liked it!!
I needed a vegetable dish so badly … you came through 💐
Hope you enjoy
bottom line is, you post it, i cook it lol
Thank you so much for your support 😊🙏
@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes no, i thank you for improving my cooking
Thank you so much!
Looks so yummy! Thank you so much for this amazing recipe.
Hi do u use a Stainless Steel pot or Non stick for curry dishes? Thx
I made this and it was amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Your dishes always look so delicious. Haven't eaten paneer before but I will be trying this somtime this week. Can you cook some duck or pork dishes?
Pork???? Are you serious
@@sandyinmids yeah what's the problem with that
Currently looking at your vegetable dishes for ideas on what to cook for my in laws 40th anniversary. Can you recommend two dishes please
Yes, definitely. If I had to pick two then Saag Paneer would be one and the other is my Chana Dal which you can find on my channel. Both dishes are different In texture, the Chana Dal is more of a dryish curry whilst the Saag Paneer is slightly wetter curry due to the spinach. If you wanted, you could even throw in a starter, Onion Bhajis or Paneer Tikka. Happy Anniversary to them both and I hope whatever it is you make, you enjoy your time together 💜😊
Love your channel, such easy to follow delicious recipes delivered with such meticulous precision! 👌👌🔥
I have just discovered your channel and I love all your videos. I can’t wait to start cooking your recipes. Xx
This was amazing! Please do one for Aloo Gobi!!
Beautiful shamsa ❤❤❤
Hi can you make bharva stuffed kerela sabji vegetarian version and baby aubergine eggplant stuffed sabji too many bake in oven thanks
If I cannot find paneer, can I substitute it with a frying cheese? Or what is your suggestion?
Definitely going to try this looks delish 😋 always look forward to your vids
Yay! Thank you!
Delicious! No cream on hand so used some coconut cream
Sounds great!
Never had paneer, looks good!
It's so good! You should try it! 😊👍
@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes I made this a few weeks ago from your recipe, was really nice!
Thank you ❤
Great recipe! What's your philosophy on making your own paneer vs buying it? Worth the effort?
Thank you. The only time I'd ever make my own is if I'm making rasmalai. Any other time I just buy it as its much easier and less time consuming. If I had the time I'd happily make my own as nothing quite beats freshly made paneer.
can you use frozen spinach?
I love saag paneer. I get vindaloo level though and it is even better
When I saw notification it reminded me to comment on the result with this recipe. Your recipe was stunning and amazing. Vibrant green
What is double cream please? Is it the same as heavy whipping cream? Thank you!
Yes in the UK we call it double cream, just did a Google search it says heavy cream or shipping cream for people in the USA
Please, what’s the American version of the cheese you use? 🙏
Can we eat it with bread
Absolutely
Hi I live in Mexico and am doing an Indian dinner party for friends. There is no paneer here so what can I substitute for the cheese. It will have to be fairly firm in order to cook as you do in the video. Thanks
Shamza Colin again, might use mustard oil and frozen peas at end.. what do you think?
Sorry for the late reply Colin, if you've not made this yet then mustard oil may be a little too strong flavoured but the peas would work perfectly.
@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes 👍👍will use only peas.
SUKRAN ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, I can’t wait to make it today or tomorrow. By the way, there’s no such thing as too much garlic.
Hope you enjoyed it 😊🙌
It's easier to just saute' the onions and garlic, tomato and spices first and then directly add chopped spinach into the pot and stir up. The you cook it down until its all soft. Add some water. Then you immersion blend it until creamy.
🎉🎉🎉
Yeah but you flash boil it to keep the bright color
Can this dish be frozen for later use ? Thanks
Yes you can!
@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes Thanks, I really love your recipes. I made the saag paneer yesterday. Next i want to make tandoori chicken in the oven.
Paneer difficult to obtain in my corner of the world. Can I sub chick peas or tofu for the protein?
Torfu could work having said that I've never tried it. So maybe give it a go and let me know too. 😁👍 Same goes for the chickpeas too
I love tamarind chutney. Give me some samosas and I am set. Pair it with some bullet Naan and saag and I'm happy. ❤
How did u made the masala paneer I mean blend it and what did u used coriander and what else sister assalaamu alaikum.can u please show me many thanks 😊 for that sister
Watch the video she explains it
Masha Allah!!!!
Will taste better if you add the spices while sauting the onions tomatoes ginger and garlic. Especially the turmeric needs to be cooked in the initial stage
As salaam aleikum Shamsa😋😋😋😋😋
Will cook this beauty for our next veggie day 👍
Do you mind if I forward a recipe link to my 2 vegetarian children?
❤
Colin 🏴 🇵🇰
Walaikum 😊 Absolutely not Collin, please go ahead. 🙌
Don't u boil the spinach first before blending?
I could only find a serrano pepper hopefully that flavor works with this
Turned out pretty well. Now I just need to make some naan to go with this
This recipe is so delicious that I’m actually pretty annoyed about because how am I gonna justify spending 20 bucks a serving on it at a restaurant now???
Thank you for your lovely comment.
Made it this afternoon. I must have used too much ginger (13g instead of the recommended 10g) because unfortunately ginger was mostly what I was tasting, could hardly taste the spinach even though I used 200g of it. Maybe I had a particularly strong ginger sample, I don't know.. 🤔I may just leave it out entirely next time.
Also, the quantities for the powders are a little unclear: the recipe recommends 1/2 a teaspoon but the quantities on the plate in the video look to be a full teaspoon or more so I used something in between. In hindsight that may have been too much. I really don't mind spicy food but not to the extent where spices are the only thing you taste. I used to order saag paneer all the time from a really good Indian restaurant before I moved and I have never been able to replicate it. I don't remember it being spicy at all. I recommend adding chickpeas, they go great with this dish. Hope I'll do better on my second attempt.
Thank you, we love Saag Paneer, but all the recipes we saw were so complicated. This is doable! We are assuming that the hard cheese could be substituted with firm tofu for our vegan friends. Hope that is OK :)
Thank you for your comment. I've never tried it with torfu, I imagine it would work but just run a test batch and let me know too. I'd love to hear how you got on. 😊👍
iam trying to get more magnesium and read abount spinach and now saag which lead me to you lol
iam worried abount oxalates people allways say this and that abount them but iam hopeing and thinking thats rubbish and the magnesium from spinach and all the other minerals far out weigh any down falls
do you eat this often
Any indian supernarket you will find Paneer ... What country are you in?
Spinach is not saag is it😅.
Saag is traditionally made from leaves of mustard plant (sarson ka saag)
