This past Wednesday night Stephen and I decided to venture into the world of cooking Indian food from scratch. We recently have really taken to the cuisine and wanted to produce it in our own home. I researched healthy versions of the classic Palak Paneer and found one on an ipad app. Its interesting because there really was nothing that was unhealthy in the meal however, through my research I have found that traditionally made dishes are super heavy in fat. This recipe was extremely balanced and included: spinach, tomatoes, tofu, yogurt (we used 0% greek), spices, and onions. Naan is horrible for you hence why we did not originally purchase it, however I want to try and make my own next time. Cutting out the mass amounts of butter should help bring the fat content down.
Mike came over and helped me cook the meal while Stephen ran out for some last minute naan. The meal was made with love and tasted good too! Next time though I am going to cool it on the spices and add some red hot pepper flakes. I do have to say, for a first time try, we were proud.
