Palak Paneer (homemade Indian cheese with spinach curry)
Palak Paneer is a vegetarian Indian dish that combines fresh farmer's-type cheese with a spicy spinach curry sauce. The sauce is usually enriched with cream, but here I've used coconut milk instead, which I think adds a nice extra layer of flavor, but you could certainly replace it with cream if you like. In a traditional recipe, the onions and garlic would likely be sauteed in butter or ghee, but I used coconut oil here instead. You could also use any type of vegetable oil like grapeseed or sunflower seed oil. If you want less of a kick, remove and discard the seeds and ribs from the jalapeno before adding it.
