Saag Paneer Recipe - Cooking Index
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Onion (large) |
6 | Garlic | |
1 oz | 28g | Fresh ginger |
1 lb | 454g / 16oz | Frozen spinach - thawed |
1 cup | 237ml | Plain yogurt |
4 oz | 113g | Buttermilk |

2 teaspoons | 10ml | Garam masala |
1 cup | 237ml | Half and half |
6 oz | 170g | Paneer - cubed |

Grind the onion, garlic, and ginger into a fine paste. In a medium saucepan, combine the paste, spinach, yogurt, buttermilk, chile powder, and garam masala. Simmer at medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes. Mash the ingredients with a potato masher. Add the half and half. Simmer until the mixture has a creamy consistency, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the cheese, simmer 5 minutes. Season with salt. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
Sharon's Notes: I didn't bother to grind the onion, garlic and ginger into a paste. I sauteed them in a little oil before adding the spinach, etc. I also browned the paneer cubes in a little oil. I substituted whole milk for the half & half.
