I served this as a side dish for my gourmet group over the weekend and it was a huge hit. I also made the cheese which no one could believe. One comment was "you nailed it", another was "this was the absolute best saag paneer I have ever had". Actually the whole dinner was great. I used about 24 ounces of chopped frozen spinach and I did squeeze out much of the water as I did not want a runny saag paneer. I used the yogurt along with a few tablespoons of heavy cream. I cut back a little of cayenne but offered some peppers (heat on the side for those who wanted it. My husband who was never fond of Indian food- loved it. I highly recommend this dish!

Love it! I make it all the time, and it's wonderful to freeze for a later date.

I made this last night using two bags of fresh spinach and tofu. It was wonderful.

I make this all the time. I used to buy the Paneer from Whole Foods Market but they stopped stocking it and then Costco but they stopped stocking it as well (the Costco brand was better than the WF brand. Anyway I buy the paneer from a local Indian market now. Many times in restaurants saag paneer is too rich but this has the right balance of spice, creaminess, and texture.

My husband made saag paneer from this recipe. It was divine! We didn't have any plain yogurt, so used sour cream instead; it worked fine. I've had saag paneer in restaurants before, but none matched this. Thank you, Aarti! It's going in our recipe book.

I made the paneer and it turned out fantastic with the exception of the shape. I wasn't able to cube it, but the taste was great. The saag paneer was easy and very close to that we've had out. Great recipe!

Yum! I made this recipe almost exactly as written (including the fresh paneer, except I added an extra pepper because my husband and I love spicy food. I didn't bother to puree or otherwise finely chop the spinach before adding it to the dish -- we liked it just as it was. We served it over basmati rice -- delicious, although next time I may try it with naan just to see what that's like. All in all, we really enjoyed this dish and plan to keep it in our regular dinner rotation. :
