The other day, I stopped at the Indian grocery in East Hartford. I was looking for lettuce and celery. While there was lots of fresh produce, there was neither of these items. I guess they are not ingredients of Indian cooking.
I bought some other veggies and in the refrigerator saw paneer. This is fresh farmer’s cheese, not local, but no added ingredients. An idea for dinner was born. I bought the cheese and some onion nan and went back for a bunch of fresh spinach.
I love the blog I found and we loved the saag paneer, served with plain yogurt and cucumber.
Peg – If you’re interested, I have a nice recipe for matter paneer that the Indian mother of one of my students taught me about 25 years ago. It does include easy steps for making your own paneer, and many assorted spices I want to learn to make nan and other Indian breads.
