What is Saag Chicken?
Saag Chicken, Palak Chicken, or Palak Murgh is a popular Indian curry in which “Saag” refers to leafy greens like spinach, mustard greens, and bathua (wild spinach). In this recipe, I use spinach because it’s readily available year-round. The dish features chicken cooked in a luscious spinach gravy seasoned with aromatic spices. Heavy cream and Kasoori methi are added as a garnish at the end.
The result is a savory, slightly tangy curry perfect for pairing with Parathas or Basmati Rice.
Unlike my other Instant Pot Indian Recipes, I prefer making this dish on the stovetop to maintain the fresh green color of the final dish. This restaurant-favorite dinner recipe is a regular in my kitchen, and I hope it becomes one in yours too.
