It was good, but I think I'll add some more vegetables next time. Maybe some bell peppers or carrots.

This was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband really enjoyed it. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of chili pepper I add.

I love that this recipe uses all fresh ingredients. It really makes a difference in the flavor.

I had a little bit of trouble finding paneer cheese locally, so I ended up using extra firm tofu instead. It was a great replacement!

This is a great beginner recipe. I'd never made saag before, but I found the instructions to be very clear and easy to follow.

My picky 5-year old even liked it! And she doesn't like cooked greens at all! :)

This was the most flavorful saag I have ever cooked! I'll be honest: I subbed frozen spinach for fresh because I wanted to use what I had on hand. Despite that, this was incredible.
