Saag originated from Punjab, a state in northern India. This twist on saag paneer uses halloumi instead of paneer to soak up the mild yet flavoursome flavours of this delicious side dish. Serve alongside your favourite curries and use fluffy naans to scoop it all up.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

c)Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the halloumi and fry, turning frequently, until golden, 6-7 mins.

Bring on the Flavour

b) Add the spinach. Season with salt and pepper and add a splash of water. Stir-fry until wilted and piping hot, 2-3 mins.
