Okay while I haven't tried this recipe, I don't know any indian recipe that doesn't incorporate other spices such as chili peppers (cayenne), tumeric, cumin, (ground) coriander, etc....Try adding garam masala (found in indian stores), cayenne, tumeric, ground cumin and coriander and you should have a pretty tasty dish. But if you plan to make this using the above recipe, it will likely be bland in comparison to real indian dishes. My personal recipe uses tomatoes and not cream or yogurt. Many indian home cooks don't put the cream in because it would be too rich for an everyday meal. And while rice is commonly served with it, so is bread, such as naan or roti (both available in Indian markets, frozen or fresh).

I agree with the last comment. Without the kick from the spices, this would be pretty bland. I use cream and tomatoes, but no yogurt. But, using yogurt is an interesting idea. Might give it a little tang. I serve it with basmati rice and naan.

This recipe is quite different than how I learned to make it. I use cumin, chopped onions & tomatoes, 1 chopped jalapeno pepper, chilli powder, crushed garlic & ginger. I don't use yogurt or cream or butter because it'll be too rich and fatty and I can never eat it with rice - that's for sure! It is mostly eaten with homemade roti or naan (both of which can be bought at Indian grocery store). I also heat up the oil and fry the chopped garlic till golden brown and pour on top of the saag paneer (this process is called bhagaar). When I'm ready to serve it, I use chopped cilantro to decorate it.
