Notes
Storage and Reheating
Saag paneer keeps well in the fridge for up to four days.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently on the hob or in the microwave until hot throughout.
Like many curries, the flavours actually deepen slightly overnight, so leftovers are often even better the next day.
