The Best Saag Paneer

Paneer happened to be something that never made an appearance in our kitchen growing up. You see, it’s used commonly in India but not so much in Pakistan. In fact, I recall the first time ever trying it properly to be on my Walima, in the form of a delicious Chilli Paneer. And since then, I’ve been hooked. Having said that, Paneer isn’t something that grows on everyone. It’s a saltless cheese that doesn’t melt like traditional cheeses....
