Saag Paneer is a popular North-Indian dish that typically made with paneer - a type of Indian cheese and spinach. In Vegan Saag Paneer, we substitute paneer with tofu and use Kale leaves instead of spinach. This dish is loaded with aromatic spices and flavors and is a favorite among vegans and vegetarians. The tofu is a great source of protein and the Kale leaves are rich in antioxidants, making it a great meal option for a healthy lifestyle.
