Saag paneer is a classic vegetarian North Indian dish - but it’s also endlessly riffable. Swap out the paneer for feta or halloumi, the mustard greens for kale or spinach, and so on. In this riff from Priya Krishna, coconut milk enriches an already aromatic and verdant sauce that can be paired with either the traditional paneer, or extra-firm tofu. The final hit of coconut oil infused with smoky cumin seeds and red chile powder adds loads of depth, making this quite possibly the most luxurious way to eat a pound of greens.

Great recipe and much appreciated. But note: whole coriander remains tough and unpleasant in the saag unless you have a really high power blender. I blended this in my ninja blender for a long time and couldn't break down the coriander seeds. It left my saag texture filled with really unpleasant "woody" debris. I recommend powdered coriander unless you've got a great vitamix or similar.

That's exactly because you aren't supposed to fry the coriander seeds as shown! It needs to be dry-roasted first and then fried with oil.

Had the same issue. Actually just bought a vitamix yesterday for this recipe and many others lol. Also I ground the cumin seeds in a mortar & pestle before adding to the chonk since it removes the woody spice texture and releases more flavor!

Thanks, I was wondering about that.
I love how accessible this is! I love Indian food but have troubling improvising with the new flavors, she explains this so well
I craved Indian food like crazy at the end of my pregnancy and I had an oversupply within a week. Incredible!

Supposedly it’s specifically the fenugreek that does it-though I don’t know the science.

for fellow foragers - you can also use fresh nettles for your greens! edit: though not the most flavourful. there's tons of spring green foraging options depending on where you are. where I am (Wales) we also have wild garlic, garlic mustard, and many others! explore your surroundings!
she’s so comforting 🥰
I never cook these recipes, I only watch these videos because Priya is a delight.
Never thought of mustard greens! I've only ever made it with spinach, great idea.

made it with mustard greens and it was super biter. spinach is better.
There's an Indian restaurant in Midtown called Mint, which serves a namesake saag paneer made with mint leaves added to the spinach. I could see adding mint leaves to your recipe along with the feta cheese.

We don't add mint to our any saag recipes for god's sake.
Yes! Love Priya’s recipes and it’s always a delight to see her on video too. I’m excited to try this new version!
I can almost smell the wonderful aroma!❤
As it's the season (in Ireland anyway) wild garlic leaves are an excellent sub/addition for the greens
Love Priya always more please!!! Will def try
i love Priya! what a great video, looks SO goood!
Just put this together with a giant clamshell of Costco baby spinach I was overly confident I could get through and some chickpeas that have been begging for death in my cupboard for months. This coconut milk saag came together SO FAST and was lick-the-dish-clean amazing. Can't wait for leftovers for lunch!
I LOVE THIS COOKBOOK. I make the saag feta all the time, and actually do use coconut milk when I have some on hand. So delicious.
Ooo can't wait to try it! More Priya please!!
Saw this video on Saturday and made it for Sunday breakfast. Delicious! Husband loved it. I’m ordering cardamom pods and asafetida and adding it to my rotation
Priya is a treasure. 🌟
Sincerely love Priya on camera teaching us how to cook. Your candor is so delightful and relatable. Dreaming of a Sohla/Priya collab.
I cannot wait to try this - thank you, thank you!
Yum! Looks amazing!
Made this one a bunch of times! So great to do, so flavorful, and so riffable.
You are a star Priya. Your Saag Feta is one of my favorite things to eat ever. I get compliments every time!
Wow I’m so excited to make this! Thank you for sharing!!!
I love your saag recipe, so definitely making this version next time!
So simple! Go Priya ❤
Wow, I'm not vegan but I'm vegan-curious and looking for recipes, and this looks delicious!
Priya is such a delight. So fun to watch, cant wait to make this
Love it! My favorite dish is saag paneer so this is right up my alley. I'm always frustrated trying to get everything out of the blender. I will try your Mom's trick.

If just swirling the water doesn’t work, pulse it a couple times with the blender and that’ll get it!
Priya. It is so good. Didn't have mustard greens so I did a Spinach/Kale 70/30 mix and love it. Can't wait to try the mustard greens! Now to finish the pot...I mean bowl
Made this today. Its lovely, simple and very delicious. Its a keeper
definitely trying this recipe! Love priya
sooo satisfying!!!
Made this tonight, it was excellent! Thanks
Looks so delicious. Thanks for sharing. Will try this for sure
priya’s saag feta from yeeeears ago with bon appetit inspired my saag (Kale) halloumi tonight! love this take on it too 🥰✨
Yeah... I'd like that A LOT! Recently got a major kitchen appliance and am making a kale-coconut thing, but I like all kinds of Saag from the take-out place, so I can adjust with this kind of guidance.
I'm so grateful for this recipe. It's so easy but soooo delicious and it's very filling but verrry low calorie. Perfect perfect!
I love how quick and easy
Looks delicious!
More Priya!!! ❤❤❤❤
That looks so good
Saag is probably my absolute favourite dish, this recipe looks super approachable too!
Wow!!! That looked delicious & I could it tasted delicious too ❤
I just made a mix of the coconut saag and feta saag recipes and it's sooooo good!
We need more from Priya ❤
You have a great way of explaining things. I'm going to make this dish for my daughters tonight.
Ooo I was just looking for a good saag recipe!
This looks so delicious.
Can’t wait to make this!!!
I love saag!
Love this I want to make it!
This sounds effing delicious.
I love you Priya!
Beautiful, simple and obviously delicious with a really nice vibrant complimentary color contrast and it’s slightly healthier than many versions. Ghee is quite abundantly rich and there are times where a different and less heavy flavor is complimentary. The dish is vegan correct? Only thing I would say is that if you don’t have a very high quality blender or processor that you do either grind the spices or remove them. Ordinary cheap mixers don’t always do the job.
ughhh i love priya!!!
obsessed with coconut oil i love it
Made this with palak. Surprisingly tasted a bit like thai green curry. Yum 😋
Wow very good 👍👍👍👍👍.. May your evening be scented with friendly jasmine. Always be happy
So excited to make this with tofu 💚
OMG YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love saag
What a nice voice
Honestly gunna try this with carrot greens this year. I had a whole pile of it last year from only a few carrots I managed to grow and just let them die in the fridge sadly. Going to come back here and make this instead next time.

What an amazing looking recipe; this presenter is fantastic as well; great job!
More of Chef Priya's recipes please!
Priya please make more videos i love them
I miss the Priya cooking vids :)
I love you, Priya!
I used to make a version of this with whatever fresh early greens the garden provided. I did not know the term saag at the time, just palak. And we did not have access to paneer, so I used tofu. We called it NPNP. For non palak non paneer. I am going to make some with overwintered chard and fresh baby bok choy.
It's tasty! I will definitely grind the coriander and cardamom beforehand next time. My blender did not fully grind the seeds. I have tons of mustard and arugula in the garden so this is a great way to use them. Loved the tofu texture too. Also, I did not mind the whole toasted cumin seeds at the end. Coriander is just a bit woody I guess. I will make it again. Thank you!
loooove this as a 'must-go' recipe … adding other veggies with the tofu is such a primo move. no more veggies going bad!!
I'm allergic to soy but i will definitely try this with pumfu. Thank you!
Yummy 😋
Add the water and then on the blender to get the last bite out
Yummmmmm! Also, I want that apron...where?

Any suggestions as to what to use if you can't get mustard greens?

Love the dairy free recipes!
Priya ya Chunkay like ah boss!
I'll try this! Do you not need to roast/grill the tofu or paneer first though?
@sourdoughsavant22

No, but if you're not familiar with tofu and have a more American palate, you may want to search the tofu to get a firmer bite. Paneer is a cheese, you could probably sear it like haloumi, but ive never seen that in a dish like this
Looks great … and it’s vegan too - right?!? Great!
This looks great, but I have had lots of success with dark, densely cooked-down greens. Maybe I could withhold putting greens in until the end, but I thought that was primarily for cosmetic purposes.
Similar to keerai kootu in tamil-nadu
i would recomend to boil the tofu with salted water ! it makes the tofu taste better, not so bland, and becomes more firm
Beautiful videos, NYT! Why does my basmati rice never look this way? Can you recommend some brands?

I’ve made this twice, and I love it, except for the coriander seeds that don’t get blended in. I don’t care for crunching on the seeds. I’ll put them through a mortar and pestle first next time.
Tadka. That is what chhonk is called where I come from. Did not know tadka had alternative names!
haha the blender trick- came from a no waste family as well!
is there any substitute for mustard greens as in Europe they are not much available?
