Palak Paneer

Ingredients:

Fresh Spinach, chopped or processed to smallish bits
Paneer cheese, cut into 1 cm or so cubes
Oil or ghee
Onion, diced
Cumin Seeds
Fresh Ginger or paste
Fresh garlic or paste
Curry paste, powder, or combination
Canned tomatoes, diced
Buttermilk

Heat oil in large saucepan. Add chopped onions and saute until slightly soft.
Add cumin seeds, ginger and garlic to taste, saute a little longer.
Add curry paste or powder, more than you think you need.
(I like madras paste, but balti or almost anything will work.)
Add 1 or 2 cans worth of tomatoes with juice.
Add spinach, stir until all coated and wilted.
Add paneer cubes.
Add 1/2 to 1 cup buttermilk, or some cream if you don't have buttermilk.

Simmer until spinach well done, then serve over rice or naan.
