Saag Paneer and Palak Paneer (yes, they are slightly different), are some of my absolute favorite Punjabi Indian dishes. The Punjab region is in northern India and the cuisine from this region is probably the most well known and most widely found at Indian restaurants around the world. If you love naan, daal makhani, paneer tikka, butter chicken or chole bhature, this is the area from which they hail.
Traditionally, Punjabi food is heavy in ghee (clarified butter), cream and paneer, however, with simple modifications, you can still enjoy all the flavor of these exotic dishes without the dairy.
