SAAG PANEER - Spinach and Paneer (Indian style cottage cheese) combine with spices to create a light, fresh , dry dish. Chef Mohammad Zaman demonstrates how they make it at East Takeaway. This dish is often called palak paneer, which strictly speaking is a more accurate description ('palak' means spinach in Hindi and other South Asian languages).
