A saag is a leaf-based dish best eaten with roti or naan bread Spinach is used most commonly in a saag, but other greens such as kale, mustard leaves or even broccoli work well too.

Saag traditionally refers to green, leafy vegetables commonly found on the Indian Subcontinent and is one of the most versatile dishes in Indian cooking. Saag can take many forms in modern Indian cuisine, from a side-dish prepared classically with spinach and a variety of spices, to larger, curried meat dishes. Classically mild, our Saag combines the gentle spice of coriander, ginger and cumin with for a warming, hearty dish; wonderful when served with a roti or chapati to mop up the sauce.
