Saag paneer is a classic Indian dish of cooked spinach and mixed green leaves studded with cubes of fried paneer. Thickened with cream, it's a hearty and filling vegetarian meal. Saag just means greens in Hindi, and though spinach is usually used we can also made with mustard, collard, fenugreek, or beet greens, and even amaranth or purslane. Here I used spinach, methi leaves and cilantro for making this yummy curry.....
