Spinach Saag paneer is completely vegetarian and very nutritious curry. Palak paneer is my all-time favourite rite. I feel that it’s one of the guilt-free curries you can have with Naan brushed with a lot of butter. Something I am ready to make any time. Unlike another paneer curry, this one is full of greens. I never forget to buy baby spinach weekly. It stays crunchy for at least a week, and also a great addition to omelette and pasta. or you can just enjoy it with the little veggie wrap.
