Saag Paneer at Rasoi Cottage in Redditch | Misty Ricardo's Curry Kitchen (Richard Sayce)

Saag Paneer at Rasoi Cottage, Redditch
August 2022

I was especially pleased to be invited to do some filming and cooking in the kitchens of Rasoi Cottage because they are listed as the no.1 top eatery in Redditch on Trip Advisor. The chef and owner Nasim Rubin Ahmed started cooking BIR style food from a very early age, and has a huge wealth of experience.

The Saag Paneer side dish is a popular menu item at Rasoi Cottage, featuring firm Indian cottage cheese and spinach. I asked Nasim (Rubin) to demonstrate how he cooks his delicious recipe.

It's usual in UK restaurants that this dish is call 'saag' paneer. A more accurate name would be 'palak' paneer (palak meaning spinach), wherease 'saag' is a general term for leafy veg/herbs such as mustard greens, coriander, spinach. etc.

Many thanks to Rubin and the staff at Rasoi Cottage!!!
