Recipe for Saag?

Question

I've found a lot of recipes for Chicken Saag, Beef Saag, all sorts of Saag, but haven't been able to find out just what the heck Saag is! I can understand that it is a sauce or kind of medium that the food is simmered in but what are the ingredients? Or do they change depending on the meat? Maybe Saag is a generic term for stock?

Answer 1

Saag is a curry-like side dish eaten with Indian or Pakistani bread such as roti or naan. Saag can be made from spinach, mustard leaves, or other greens, along with added spices and sometimes other ingredients. A common form of saag is "Saag paneer", which contains a type of cheese known as paneer. Saag is more common in Punjab. There it is eaten more often with Makki di roti. This roti is made of corn flour and is yellow in colour. Though it can also be eaten with other Indian breads. When made with spinach and paneer, a common name for the dish is palak paneer. "Saag gosht" is version of the dish prepared with lamb and spinach. The lamb is usually cooked in a tandoor before being marinated in the other ingredients.
