1 large onion, chopped
thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced into long julienne
1½ tbsp chopped garlic
1-2 green chillies, whole
2 tsp ground coriander
salt, to taste
250g/8¾oz ready-made paneer (available from some supermarkets and Asian grocers), cut into cubes, or make your own paneer

I plan to try this soon, and make my own paneer.
Update: This was very good, recommended! I did change the recipe by using dried spices, not fresh, and I didn't blend the spinach, making it a casserole baked dish instead. I topped it with parmesean cheese and wheat germ. I'll try it creamy next time, maybe over some chopped chicken and salad.

Looks like a tasty thing.
Alexandra,
I used to make my own paneer when we lived in Canada and couldn't get it. IT is quite easy. We make Muttar Paneer, a dish with peas. Yum!
Thanks, and I could use suggestions for Indian food. I'm glad I found the BBC food link at Mrs. Poogle's.
Alexandra,
Anything by Madhur Jaffrey is a sure fire winner!
Thanks Dorothy! You are always a font of knowledge. :)
