What's the name of that Indian dish with spinach and some kind of cheese?
How do you make that cheese and how do you cook the dish with the cheese? I've also seen it with peas and cheese. I've moved from the area where the owner of the local Indo-Pak grocery used to help me select spice packs. So I need to know how to do it from scratch.
yeah, but how do you make the paneer from scratch?

It's called saag paneer. I just buy the cheese premade, but you can do it like this:
Use 2 liters of milk (not 2% or anything, you need the full fatty milk).
Lime juice (to separate the milk)
Boil the milk, and when it starts to boil, add the lime juice ( I don't know how to measure it out, just do it by eye, start with a little, and see what it does)
then pour it into a muslin cloth (or something that can allow the liquid to seep through, but keep the curdled milk)
then allow it to dry (15-30 min), and if needed, press out the excess milk
to make the spinach, it's best to just clean it, then to put it in a blender.
First, sautee a small onion in oil.
When it's brown, put your cheese and spinach (chopped int he blender), and put your spices in. We always put tumeric, red chili, garlic, ginger, cumin, and a few green chilis in.
then just cook it til the spices soak in, heat up your nan, and enjoy!

You can buy that cheese "paneer" from any Indian market. You can buy it frozen
From scratch I think it's milk and vinegar, not sure
