Eat your greens! Asma prepares one of the most popular paneer cheese dishes with saag, fresh winter spinach. This Indian version of creamed spinach is the perfect vegetarian side dish. It’s packed with flavor and so easy to make. While Asma uses spinach, this recipe also works great with kale, arugula, or swiss chard.
