I had palak paneer for lunch one day in the food court at Richmond Centre. It was so delicious and I figured it couldn't be too hard to make, so I tracked down this recipe online. I was buying paneer in a specialty Indian food store at first, but then discovered that the Superstore carries it. Charlotte was about a year old when I first made this and she tucked right into it. She's gone off it a bit over time - it comes out a very bright green - but I still persevere with it because it's just so good - and good for us too.
