Indian food
Sep. 28th, 2009 01:46 pmI probably shouldn't be posting food reviews on Yom Kippur, but given that fasting tends to lead to me getting belligerent, trying to eat people's heads, and then passing out, I think it's safe to assumed I'd be eating today regardless of my religous leanings.
I really like palak paneer, an Indian spinach-and-cheese dish. Recently, I bought a couple of different packaged varieties, figuring that it would make a nice lunch if it was any good. While the ready-to-eat Kitchens of India Palak Paneer was the best of the lot, it still wasn't that great, probably on par with the worst I've had at a restaurant.
I think the next step is trying homemade, especially since I already have all of the necessary spices. The recipes I'm finding suggest substituting firm tofu or large-curd cottage cheese, which is probably workable, but I'm crazy enough to ask: Anyone know a good place to buy paneer cheese?
