Saag paneer (my mom made it with mixed greens mustard/spinach/other greens) is a bit earthier. This was bright, tangy, and the briny feta just made this so delicious. Saag Paneer or Palak Paneer or Indian creamed spinach and paneer curry, no matter what I call it, it is a delicious and easy spinach and Indian cheese main course curry which I always order in one of my favorite Indian restaurant!
