Palak Paneer Curry
By: Subhadra Burugula
If you’ve never had paneer before, here is the perfect opportunity to discover something new and wonderful. It’s actually a type of cheese from India, but you could substitute extra firm tofu if you can’t track any down. Don’t be scared of the ghee ingredient, either: it’s just clarified butter which you can buy or make yourself, or just use regular butter. Vegans can make this recipe friendly by using oil instead of ghee.
