Fabulous meal however one bunch of silverbeet is far less than 800g so always get two.
we will definitely be making again thankyou 🥬

I made this wonderful dish today with half silverbeet and half choko as I was given some chokos from a friend's garden. As chokos don't have any flavour on their own this was divine. Something for others to think about if they need to bulk up their silverbeet 800gram requirement. I made it with paneer (no lamb) and cooked it for 30 mins instead of 60 mins. It was sensational and certainly better than takewaway palak paneer.

This looks amazing. I can only get ground fenugreek. How much would I use instead of fenugreek seeds.

Made this for the first time, my daughter said it is better than Indian Takeaway we usually buy. Lamb was melt in your mouth, will be becoming a regular in our house.

dtotheaisy: I’ve cooked this with paneer, it’s delicious! I add the paneer after pureeing, stir through with a spatula, then cook for around 5 minutes (or until heated through), 90 degrees "Counter-clockwise operation" "Gentle stir setting" .

Delicious, healthy, easy. I'd give it five stars but the rest of my family weren't as in love with it as I was. I used almonds instead of cashews which was fine. Thanks for posting this great recipe.

Just discovered your recipe Jodie and made for curry night last night. Loved it. Can't wait to try as leftovers today! Thanks for sharing with us. Robyn

This was SOOOOO good!!!
i even forgot to add the lemon and yoghurt at the end and didn't miss it.
Cooked it for just thirty minutes the night before a dinner party (to allow flavours to develop) and finished off for a couple of hours in a slow oven before serving, RAVE REVIEWS!!

This was an amazing dinner! Even my hard to please husband loved this. I also cooked mine in the slow cooker and left out the yoghurt and it was great. Will definitely be making this again.
So delicious everyone loved it

Made this today. Did cook it longer in the slow cooker, as made it too early for dinner. What a delicious curry, everyone licked their plates and commented best ever. I'm amazed I made a lamb saag, which was so lovely. I only had lamb chops, so cooked them on the bone, the meat fell off the bone, so tender and flavoursome. This will be a family favourite, no going to takeaway in future, this was voted better.

I haven't even finished cooking this yet and I am already in love with this recipe!! Used fennel seeds as couldn't find fenugreek and added a little bit of chicken stock when cooking the silverbeet to try and reduce a bit of the bitterness that you can get with s/b. Totally delicious and it's not yet finished!! Great recipe - will definitely be added to our regular meals roster.

Thanks for the recipe
Great recipe! Easy to follow
Great recipe! Easy to follow instructions and an authentic taste. We used whole tinned tomatoes and tasted amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Will definitely cook again as
Will definitely cook again as the flavours were delicious. The bunch of silverbeet I had weighed less than 800g which may have been why the sauce was really thick so I had to add more water. Also cooked for 2 hours in the oven once prepared. Authentic taste!
Yummo!!! wont be buying this
Yummo!!!

This is nearly as good as any Indian restaurant. I used fresh spinach and it was delicious. Coupled with Thermomumma's Naan bread makes it perfect

Family of teens & hubby love the authentic taste of this dish! And so easy to feed so many!
A new staple. Used lamb
A new staple. Used lamb forequarter chops and cooked for another half hour. Also added more chilli to the mix. So good!
Absolutely loved this recipe.
Absolutely loved this recipe. Made it with chicken as what was in the fridge. Appreciate the tips to reduce the cooking time for chicken by 30 Mins. Will be making this again soon with lamb.
Also used yellow mustard seeds instead of fenugreek seeds as I could not find them at the local store. Still tasted amazing.
This is my favourite recipie
This is my favourite recipie on recipie community. I absolutely love it.
Sensation!! Lamb saag is
Sensation!! Lamb saag is one of my favourite curries and this did not disappoint, definitely restaurant quality! I made the sauce in the thermomix but took the advice of a few of the messages and then slow cooked the lamb and sauce for 3 hours and it was just incredible. Also added a bit of feta as I didn't have any paneer which I will add with the left overs. Thanks for sharing such a brilliant recipe.
So full of flavour. I love
So full of flavour. I love curries and I have always seen Saag on restaurant menus but have never tried it before, so glad I made it!! I only wish I could have got hold of some Fenugreek to make it exactly as recipe directed. Still lovely.
I made this with chicken and
I made this with chicken and hook the advice to reduce cooking time to 30 minutes. It was delicious ☺
Absolutely delicious! Perfect
Absolutely delicious! Perfect recipe to use up the glut of silverbeet in the veggie patch! Have also substituted the lamb for chicken & reduced cooking time to 30 mins.
This was really yummy! I
This was really yummy! I didn't have a chili so just sprinkkled in chili flakes. As with most recipes of this nature, I made the sauce in my Thermomix and then put the raw chopped lamb and sauce in my slow cooker and cooked on high for about three hours (would normally cook on low but was out of time!). Much more tender, and you can also add more lamb because there is loads of sauce. I just used shop bought garam masala and it was fine. Very tasty - even the kids ate it.
Would paneer be fine to use
Would paneer be fine to use instead of meat? Would you make any alterations if using paneer?
Palak/Saag Paneer would be my favourite meal.
I made this today and it was
I made this today and it was beautiful. I had quite a bit of the sauce leftover however. I was thinking of cooking up some more lamb and a few veges in the remaining sauce but am wondering if this will be possible with the yoghurt. Will it separate?

Thank u. This was delicious.
Thank u. This was delicious. I didn't use yoghurt and reduced tomato and silverbeet. Will add more chilli tho.
Love this recipie, I have
Love this recipie, I have made it with Lamb, beef and chicken, used 35mins for cubed chicken breast. I often substitute kale, yum.
This was amazing thank you.
This was amazing thank you. Been trying to find a recipe that I can tell my mom i made a better curry than her and I have found it. Thanks for sharing!!!!!
LOVED this recipe. I used
LOVED this recipe. I used 800g of silverbeet leaves (without the white stalks) and it made HEAPS of sauce. So I poured off about half of the sauce and froze it for a quick and easy meal a few weeks later (where I added 500g of fresh diced lamb again) and cooked it through. Mmmmm, so yummy!
Fantastic flavour! This is
Fantastic flavour! This is the first curry i made in the TM and it didnt disappoint! i might take the advice to cook it for some extra time as the meat was not quite as tender as i had hoped.
This is delicious. I added
This is delicious. I added cubed feta at the end and cooked for an extra minute (1 min, 100C, Speed 1 reverse). Super tasty and healthy to boot.

Finally made it Jody!!! It
Finally made it Jody!!! It was AMAZING!!! More authentic than the local takeaway!!! Just need to practice my paneer making skills!
Lovely spice balance and easy
Lovely spice balance and easy to make, however I also found this slightly bitter, but my silver beet wasn't fresh. It had been in the fridge for two days. So will try it again with fresher greens or spinach. I wasnt able to cook it in the TM for the whole time as I had to use the TM to make a second curry so after adding the lamb meat I cooked it in a casserole in the oven at 180 C. I also used shoulder which wasnt the best quality so will try leg meat next time.
I froze the extra in individual portions with left over rice and I though it was much nicer a week later upon reheating for a pack lunch at work. With hind sight that may have been because I had origionally served it alongside a butter chicken which was much sweeter.
Thanks
The best curry I've cooked in
The best curry I've cooked in the TMX and I've cooked a lot.
I found it slightly bitter
I found it slightly bitter with silverbeet, will try with English spinach next time. My husband loved it though.
