Trying Indian Food

The other day, hubby took me to a local Indian restaurant.  The food was pretty good and we had a great time.  I had made an Indian inspired dish a while ago, and eating there reminded me of the recipe that I had stored away called Vegan Palak Paneer.  If you eat Indian at all, you know that this means large chunks of cheese in a spinach sauce.

The recipe I followed was by the Minimalist Baker, whose recipes I really like.  This one was no exception.  It was easier that some I have seen and was quite tasty.  I had gotten a large container of spinach at the market especially to make this dish, but as usual I forgot to get the peppers.  So I used chili flakes that I have on had and a little dab of hot sauce.

The tofu that I have mentioned before is the super firm style and I think it added just the right consistency for the "paneer" chunks because when I made it before, I used firm tofu and it didn't really firm up as much as using this kind.
