How long does Egg Saag keep in the fridge?

Egg Saag keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat on the stove or microwave until piping hot before serving. We do not recommend freezing tempered dishes since the spices dull after thaw.

Can I make Egg Saag ahead of time?

Yes. Egg Saag is a great make-ahead dish. Cook it fully, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate. Most north indian egg dishes taste better the next day once the masala has had time to meld.

What can I serve with Egg Saag?

Classic pairings include roti, rice. For a complete north indian thali, add a dal, a dry sabzi, papad, and a sweet ending.
