I saw this dish referred to as both Saag Paneer and Palak Paneer. After some research, I found out, that Palak means “spinach”. This means that Palak Paneer means Spinach with Paneer. On the other hand, Saag is any green, so Saag Paneer means a Green Vegetable with Paneer, and it can be any green vegetable, not just spinach.
What is Paneer? Paneer is a cheese, that you can find at Indian grocery stores, and International grocery stores. Don’t have Paneer? No problem — I also made this recipe with ricotta cheese — take a look at Ricotta and Spinach Recipe. It is just as delicious.
