Saag is the generic term for a curry of leafy vegetables (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saag https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saag), and Palak means spinach. Saag Paneer and Palak Paneer are often used interchangeably in the US.
The quality of these dishes does vary widely from establishment to establishment, despite sharing the same basic construction.
If you want a more oil-based Saag, take a look at our Saag tofu, which is dairy-free.

Yet you might logically assume that means that I like spinach and the others have different types of greens. I don't believe that is so; it's the rest of it that is the major difference, not the greens.
