High FODMAP
Saag Paneer Sauce
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Saag paneer sauce blends spinach, cream, spices, and sometimes onion for a rich and green topping. Spinach contains negligible fermentable carbohydrates and pairs safely with low-FODMAP dairy alternatives. Traditional recipes frequently incorporate onion and garlic, which introduce significant fructan load during simmering. Commercial preparations occasionally add wheat thickeners or high-fructose stabilizers to extend shelf life. Selecting simple ingredients and strict portion control ensures predictable tolerance.

Simmer pureed spinach with lactose-free cream, cumin, and ginger to create a rich and gut-friendly topping. Avoid commercial jars that list onion powder or high-fructose corn syrup near the top of the ingredient panel to maintain purity. Simmer gently over low heat and stir frequently to prevent separation and maintain creamy consistency.
