Tips:
Frozen spinach works the best.
Saag (ground spinach) should be thick so do not put too much water.
Food processor works the best to grind the spinach ginger and jalapeno without adding too much water.
Nank paneer or any paneer block should be good. Just cut into 1/2 inch cubes and add to saag at the end.
Paneer is made of boiling off the milk and then adding lemon juice or vinegar. Whey separates and cover in cheese cloth.
Add jalapeno or Serrano pepper as this should be the dominating taste.
1/2 cup of whipping cream is nothing in comparison to restaurant saag paneer.
