Saag Paneer

Saag Paneer (Gluten free, Vegetarian)

It’s easy and fun to make your own saag paneer at home! It’s especially delicious with rice or paleo flatbread.

Have you ever made your own cheese?  I made some ricotta last year, and wanted to try my hand at paneer.  Fresh cheeses like paneer and ricotta are easy to make at home, and totally worth it.  All you need is milk, a lemon, some cheesecloth, and a little patience.
Saag paneer has been my favorite Indian dish for years, and I’m so glad I finally made it myself.  The creamy spiced spinach studded with chewy bits of paneer is totally addictive, and my major Indian takeout/delivery habit is all saag paneer’s fault (oh, and Eat24–you guys didn’t help, either).  This homemade version is just as good as my local restaurant’s, and the paneer is far superior: it’s meltingly tender, with a wonderfully creamy flavor.  It’s a little labor intensive to make the paneer and the saag on the same day, but it was a perfect project for a Sunday afternoon.  Next time I might try making a big batch of paneer, stashing some in the fridge, and freezing the rest.  That way I can make saag paneer happen on weeknights!
