Oh you’ve been missing out! Palak paneer is delicious. You can obviously omit the paneer and do something else instead.

Wow. Did you follow any recipe? I love this

Recipe for the sweet potato pancake?

Whups; I should clarify that I’ve never cooked it myself. I like Palak Paneer as an occasional treat, but the store-bought stuff around here is too salty, plus I don’t really need the cheese as an aging, somewhat out-of-shape bloke.

Unfortunately I don’t have many of my Indian spices / whole seeds in stock these days. Well, I mean… some cumin seeds, a dwindling bag of Panch Puran, and a couple containers of Ghee is about it, that is.

I’ve never encountered palak in the store, though I’ve had it at some restaurants. When I make it myself I tend to do a vegan version, replacing the paneer with a medium firm tofu. It’s not quite the same thing, but I also think tofu is delicious so…

Wow that looks great. Nice work

Thanks, it was indeed a good pairing resulting in a nice contrast of flavors.

Thank you! There was no recipe. All I had was some sweet potato mash from the day before and a craving for leafy greens.

The spinach curry was made by frying a large amount of onion, garlic and (mild) fresh green chili pepper in neutral oil. I also added several spices I had lying around, not sure anymore, certainly salt, cumin and black pepper, probably some Indian curry spice mix too. Reduced a can of coconut milk (10 min). Added spinach and reduced coconut milk to onion/garlic/pepper mix and boiled a little more. Used immersion blender to achieve a thick, creamy, sauce like texture, without using any binding agents.

The sweet potato mash was already seasoned from the day before, salt ,sugar, lemon juice (not sure if lemon actually made it better), red chili pepper flakes and garlic. I just added two eggs and some flower plus some baking powder, so it would pancake properly. To achieve a uniform round shape and to make flipping easy, I used a set of two identical tiny pans.

Garnish is white and black sesame, don´t be lazy like me, roast your sesame! That way it will be a flavor component, not just a nice look.

Sure, here you go:

Thank you very much!

Thank you, it’s very easy, I’ll definitely try it
