Oh this is so good! This is my favorite dish when we go to the local Indian Restaurant. I get cravings for it all the time and I finaly know how to make it! I'm so happy! I did cut the cayenne in half and I'm really glad I did. I like hot, but even with the 1/2 tsp this had a good kick. Next time I will decrease the cream as well - It took a bit away from the perfect tomato/spice mixture (and I even added a little extra spinach to use it up). I looked up how to make the panir, and having made mozzarella before it seemed like a very very similar cheese so I used cubed mozzarella (that was at room temp) in place of panir. I just added it last- after the heat was off and it had cooled somewhat. Worked out great! This is such a keeper!

This was a very good base recipe. I used all the ingredients and changed the portions according to our liking. Another change i made was to puree the mixture after it was cooked and then add the paneer. It looked like it came from one of our favourite Indian restaurants.

Didn't think I was going to get anywhere close to the saag in the restaurants, but this turned out wonderful (if not a little too spicy to serve to the little ones). Very easy to make and very tasty!

If there were more stars for this, I'd surely rank this higher than five. An amazing dish!!! An unexpected ambuscade upon the senses, raiding the taste buds with unbridled spicy goodness! To sum up in one word...MMMMMMMMMMM.
