As with any protein, marinating prior to cooking allows the flavors to really come to life.  This version of Saag Paneer started with a recipe I found in a cookbook by a Food Network personality, Aarti Sequira, titled Aarti Paarti.  This differs from another Saag Paneer   recipe I posted a few months ago in that this variation (#2) does not have any tomatoes and as I mentioned above, the paneer cheese is marinated in spices for at least 30 minutes prior to frying. Serve with basamati rice, naan, as a side dish or alone.   Me?  I had mine today as a side dish with a juicy hamburger on a gluten free bun.  Who said you can't mix up your food regions? - Eat what you love!
