Re: Recipe thread!
I also greatly enjoy adaptating Italian cuisine into vegetarian versions.

Sautee in ghee (clarified butter) a diced onion, a chopped leek and three medium cloves of garlic. Add salt, pepper, and your own mix of Garam Masala, made with the spices you like best. I use curry, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon and freshly (very finely!) chopped ginger. I use merkén to give it a little bit of heat ("merkén" is a spice from Chile, made from dried and smoked red chili - if you can find it, I DEFINITIVELY recommend it), but I guess you can use more "local" chili varieties. A hint of sugar also goes well. Red bell peppers and/or diced tomatoes are a nice addition, but not necessary.
Once that's nicely golden, add the paneer, diced. Cook until it takes a buttery color and it's slightly wrinkled.
Meanwhile, you'll need to cook your spinach. USE ONLY THE LEAVES. Chop them finely, with a knife for chopping herbs if you can. There will be lots of recipes telling you to just throw the stuff on the food processor. DISREGARD THEM. Palak Paneer is a kind of curry, not a creamy soup. Cover the spinach with water in a pot, with some salt on it, and bring it to a boil. Let them boil for a couple of minutes but then GET THE LEAVES OUT as soon as they reach a bright green color. DO NOT OVERCOOK THE SPINACH. Drain the water.
After you've drained the water, mix the spinach with the sauteed veggies until it's homogeneous.
If you like your curries extra-rich, you may add some heavy cream or coconut milk to the mix.
And you're good to go~ <3
