Palak paneer

Punjabi-style samosa

This was my first time making samosa, and they're wonky looking but delicious.

Plating looks like dinosaur foot prints

[–] captnanonymous@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Not intentional, but I see it.

I thought it looks like cat vomit...

[–] captnanonymous@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Fair enough. Palak paneer is not what I'd call "show food". Although if you pass on every food that looks like vomit, you're going to miss out on some stuff.

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 3 points 8 months ago

I didn't say I'd pass on it 😂

Yum! I’m making a real bastard Indian-American fusion “Butter Paneer Pizza” tomorrow. Got the paneer marinating in the fridge (first time marinating paneer!) and the preferment for the dough is bubbling away on my nightstand (rest of the house is too cold for it to get properly frothed).

Butter paneer pizza sounds interesting. I'm with it.

Saucy indian curries make amazing pizza. I used to live by Toronto and I miss the Indian pizza places.

We have a great little spot in Ottawa called Balista that does some great ‘za

[–] ObamaBinLaden@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Marinating paneer doesn't really do a whole lot for it though

[–] DoctorSpocktopus@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

Good to know - I’m seeing a few recipes recommending it to enliven the store bought stuff, so I’ll see if it makes a difference

[–] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Palak paneer is the best way to get my children to eat vegetables. Looks tasty!

[–] captnanonymous@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Nice, everyone wins.

[–] residentmarchant@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I love samosas, but damn are they annoying to make at home! I'll take a restaurant making 200 of them any day, no matter how it tastes (which is generally great)

[–] captnanonymous@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yep. I don't see this going into regular rotation, but it was fun to make the attempt.

[–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Err... Honestly this looks like paneer with some palak rather than palak paneer. The dish normally looks green as heck.

That said I love paneer so I'll eat any variation of it.

[–] captnanonymous@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah, we ran short on spinach and the color was off as a result. I probably added too much turmeric as well.
