Who doesn't love this yummy sag/palak paneer or spinach with paneer (Indian cheese) or tofu?! By popular demand, we introduced this universally favorite dish and customers just cannot get enough!

You can make sag or palak paneer/tofu with firm or extra firm tofu for a fully plant based dish (PB) or with paneer if vegetarian (VG). Paneer is often available in many grocery stores. Fried paneer or tofu saves time and makes this even easier!
