About Saag curry

Saag Curry is a flavorful dish rooted in Indian cuisine, celebrated for its vibrant blend of spices and nutrient-rich ingredients. The term "saag" refers to leafy greens—typically spinach, mustard greens, or collard greens—cooked to perfection with garlic, ginger, onions, and tomatoes, then seasoned with warming spices like cumin, turmeric, and coriander. Often paired with paneer, chicken, or lamb, it can be served with rice or flatbreads like naan and roti. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, iron, and antioxidants, the leafy greens are a nutritious highlight, supporting immune health and reducing inflammation. However, traditional preparations may include clarified butter (ghee) or cream, adding richness while increasing the calorie and fat content. Healthier versions avoid heavy fats while retaining the dish's delicious and energizing profile, making Saag Curry both a comforting and health-conscious choice for those seeking a balanced meal.
