I cannot say enough good things about OPOS Cooking. I love it so much that I even wrote a 7 ways OPOS Cooking improved my life post. In so many years of cooking and blogging, I have slowly refined my cooking process to be more efficient and quick that lasts mostly under 30min to 45min max. Then came in the knowledge of cooking food optimally that retains color/nutrition. This was followed by my need to follow “Green Living” wherein I had a pressing need to minimize wastage. With each passing year, I felt the need to instill another discipline. That’s when OPOS came into my picture. It was everything I was doing – but with far less time, thought and ease. Everyday cooking was a cinch. What took 30-45 minutes before, now took 10-15minutes.
This thali for instance was all done around 12 mins. Three cookers loaded with Dal, saag paneer and this pulao (made using RightRice, that’s not rice at all – more about that later) and rolled few chapathis from (big batch) frozen homemade dough on the side. This thali in less than 15 minutes with freshly cooked wholesome food would not have been possible if not for OPOS. Anyway, this post is about one of the components of that thali – Palak/Saag Paneer. The term Saag in Hindi is usually used to describe any green gravy that made using leafy greens. It can be made using one primary green say spinach or a mix of multiple greens. So Saag Paneer literally means a greens gravy with paneer. The term Palak means Spinach. So Palak Paneer is a dish made using spinach and paneer. Do you see why these two terms are used interchangeably?
This dish is pretty easy but OPOS makes it even easier and quicker. All it takes is one pot! For today’s post I am using an assortment of greens like organic sweet pea leaves, baby spinach, baby bok choy, baby kale, mizuna, tatsoi, baby red chard, baby green swiss chard and baby arugula! I always have this noble intention of trying to consume greens more often but most often it remains just that – a good thought! Well, using such power mixes are my way of partially making up for that 
The choice of the greens is totally upto you. You can use the same technique to use just one green like spinach or an assorted mix of greens of your choosing.(...)
