These two popular Indian dishes both feature paneer (Indian cottage cheese) as a key ingredient, but they differ in the greens they use to prepare the dish.

The main green component in palak paneer is spinach (palak), which gives the dish a vibrant green color. In this dish, the paneer is cooked in a creamy, silky spinach gravy.

Saag paneer, however, is a more general term that covers any dish where paneer is cooked in a creamy gravy with a mix of different leafy greens, including spinach. The term “saag” refers to various greens, such as spinach, mustard greens, fenugreek leaves, and other local greens found in Punjab.
