    Saag paneer is a classic vegetarian North Indian dish - but it’s also endlessly riffable. Swap out the paneer for feta or halloumi, the mustard greens for kale or spinach, and so on. In this riff from Priya Krishna, coconut milk enriches an already aromatic and verdant sauce that can be paired with either the traditional paneer, or extra-firm tofu. The final hit of coconut oil infused with smoky cumin seeds and red chile powder adds loads of depth, making this quite possibly the most luxurious way to eat a pound of greens.

    Great recipe and much appreciated. But note: whole coriander remains tough and unpleasant in the saag unless you have a really high power blender. I blended this in my ninja blender for a long time and couldn't break down the coriander seeds. It left my saag texture filled with really unpleasant "woody" debris. I recommend powdered coriander unless you've got a great vitamix or similar.

    • @theboyjoy
      @theboyjoy Місяць тому +17

      That's exactly because you aren't supposed to fry the coriander seeds as shown! It needs to be dry-roasted first and then fried with oil.

    • @jacoboak97
      @jacoboak97 Місяць тому +6

      Had the same issue. Actually just bought a vitamix yesterday for this recipe and many others lol.
      Also I ground the cumin seeds in a mortar & pestle before adding to the chonk since it removes the woody spice texture and releases more flavor!

    for fellow foragers - you can also use fresh nettles for your greens!
    edit: though not the most flavourful. there's tons of spring green foraging options depending on where you are. where I am (Wales) we also have wild garlic, garlic mustard, and many others! explore your surroundings!

    It's tasty! I will definitely grind the coriander and cardamom beforehand next time. My blender did not fully grind the seeds. I have tons of mustard and arugula in the garden so this is a great way to use them. Loved the tofu texture too. Also, I did not mind the whole toasted cumin seeds at the end. Coriander is just a bit woody I guess. I will make it again. Thank you!

    Beautiful, simple and obviously delicious with a really nice vibrant complimentary color contrast and it’s slightly healthier than many versions. Ghee is quite abundantly rich and there are times where a different and less heavy flavor is complimentary. The dish is vegan correct? Only thing I would say is that if you don’t have a very high quality blender or processor that you do either grind the spices or remove them. Ordinary cheap mixers don’t always do the job.

    @msriram9884 2 місяці тому +7

    Just a couple of thoughts. It’s probably better to add the lemon at the end after it slightly cooled. Actually, the vitamin C in the lemon does not stand up well to heat and lemon juice can become bitter when heated. Also, typically one does not blend whole cardamom pods. Because the actual pod has a pretty hard covering, you would just blend what is inside the cardamom seed. Good recipe though

      No, but if you're not familiar with tofu and have a more American palate, you may want to search the tofu to get a firmer bite. Paneer is a cheese, you could probably sear it like haloumi, but ive never seen that in a dish like this
