{"title":"Tinned Saag \u0026 Spinach","description":"\u003cp\u003eSarson ka saag is the winter dish of Punjab: mustard leaves slow-cooked with spinach or bathua, thickened with a little maize flour, then finished with ghee, garlic and green chilli. Made from fresh greens it takes hours of washing, chopping and stirring, and in the UK the right leaves are hard to find. Tinned saag solves both problems. Tinned spinach, sold as leaf, chopped or smooth purée, is the quick route to palak paneer, saag aloo and spinach dal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick the texture for the dish. Leaf and chopped spinach keep some bite and suit saag aloo and dal palak. Purée gives the silky green gravy you want for palak paneer or palak chicken. Sarson ka saag tins are already seasoned lightly, so taste before adding salt, and loosen with water if the tin is very thick. Larger tins are worth it if you are feeding a family or cooking for a gathering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tarka makes the dish.
