1. What if you wanted to use whole spices like cardamom seeds and coriander seeds instead of ground. Same with cinnamon stick. How much would you use?

1. So much great depth of flavor in this dish and I loved it! Served it with basmati rice and naan!

2. Not exactly what I was looking for, but still pretty tasty. I used whole coriander, and didn't care for the seeds/texture (my fault). Going to try this one again but adjust the spices a little. If you can't find the paneer, an excellent substitute is Mexican Queso Blanco (aka queso fresco) - the texture & taste is very similar.

3. I made half a recipe for the two of us and it was great. Loved all the flavors and how they meld together. I made homemade paneer Recipe #207389 to use in the recipe. Served with Recipe #277765, Naan plus puppodums as an appetizer.

4. Fantastic recipe. I like this much better than our local Indian restaurant's palak paneer. I think I added a little more cream because I had to warm it longer at the end (I could only find frozen paneer.) I used normal spinach leaves, and it made it stringy so next time I'll be sure to find the baby spinach. I feel about twenty pounds overweight from dinner, but fiance and I really loved this. Thanks!!

1. I've used tofu in this recipe for a non authentic version. Works very well, especially if you drain and then marinade it. Thanks for the "63 ways to make Indian take out" collection today, I'm a big fan of Indian food!

2. I would recommend specifying whole milk yogurt. It's much less likely to curdle if a cook mismanages their heat, and it adds a more authentic flavor than the low-fat options common in the US.

3. Really good. I added a bit more spinach (total of 350g), and doubled the spices. I didn't have ginger so i used allspice instead. It was seriously easy to make and delicious, quite authentic. Just adjust to your taste. I would use more chilli and garlic but that's just because I really like them.

4. One of my favourite dishes in authentic Indian restaurants. This is fast and simple, and tastes great. I modified it according to what I had - like using milk instead of cream, and chili powder instead of paprika. I also added more spinach as per my own personal preferences. This is definitely on the repeat list.

5. We make this one most weeks. It's become a staple. Yep, we LOVE it!!Tonight we used sour cream instead of cream, this made the sauce thicker and we liked it even more. We'll be doing this from now on.
