Palak Paneer

In my opinion, this is the best Indian dish ever.

Paneer
I gallon milk
juice from 2 lemons (I use bottled lemon juice)
cheesecloth

Boil the milk until it starts rising. Immediately add the lemon juice and stir. It should separate into curds and a thin yellowish liquid. If not, add more lemon juice a little at a time and stir. Drape the cheesecloth over a colander, and set the colander over a bowl or pot. Pour in the curds and whey. Set aside the whey, you'll need it later. Squeeze as much of the whey out as you can- wait til the curds cool down some. Leave the curds in the cloth and press it between two plates or two cutting boards.

Palak Paneer

Basic masala
1/4 cup water
1/2 Tbs turmeric
1 Tbs coriander
1/2 Tbs cumin
Mix all these together and set aside

1/2 cup ghee or butter
paneer
2 Tbs butter or ghee
garlic cloves (i use about 10) cut in chunks
1 pd spinach
1 tsp salt
2 lg pototoes
2 cups whey
2-3 Tbs peeled, grated ginger
1 tsp garam masala

Heat butter. Fry paneer. Remove. Add 2 Tbs butter. Saute garlic. Stir in masala. When it surfaces mix in spinich and salt. You might need to add a little whey so it won't stick. Add potato and cook for ten minutes. Mix in paneer and stir well. Gradually add whey and garam masala. Cook til potato is soft. Remove from heat and add the grated ginger. Let sit for 5 minutes so the ginger will flavor it. You might need a Tbs or two more, depending on your taste

If you're lucky and there's a good local Indian resturant, go pick up some Naan to eat this with. If not, make some pita bread. Naan is very hard to make without a tandoori oven. Any flatbread is good.
