Notes

TIPS:
You can substitute olive oil with coconut oil for a different flavor profile.
Consider blanching spinach before cooking if you want a vibrant green color.
Feel free to add paneer or tofu for an added protein boost.
If it’s too spicy, a dollop of yogurt can balance the heat.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
This Spinach and vegetable saag pairs perfectly with whole wheat rotis or brown rice.
Garnish with fresh coriander or lemon wedges for an extra zest.
A side of cucumber or carrot salad complements the saag wonderfully.
Considering our health-focus at AH7, a glass of carrot or beetroot juice would be a superb accompaniment.
