I've been trying to eat more vegetables lately and had a real craving the other night for saag and paneer. I turned to my trusty cookbook - Vij's Indian Cuisine and was not disappointed. The book has an appetizer version that calls for arugula and spinach in the proportions of 1/4 to 3/4 respectively (too much arugula makes it bitter). I discovered the BC Liquor Store's "Taste" magazine has a reproduction of the recipe here if you are interested in trying it out.
Paired with naan and a refreshing Gruner Veltliner -- this was a great simple dinner. The wine I chose was an Austrian 2010 Stift Goettweig Messwein Gruner Veltliner and it really was a perfect match -- very capable of standing up to the spice in the curry sauce.
This was an easy meal to make (note I bought ready-made paneer and naan). I'll replicate this combo again!
