Ok, so I had too much yogurt – at least I thought I did, though the other inhabitants of my house assured me it’d get eaten before it went bad.\u00a0 Yeah, ok.\u00a0 The challenge was something savory for dinner that used the yogurt along with some of the other things in the house.\u00a0 The solution (hypothesized) was a recipe-less palak paneer<\/a>.\u00a0 That’s cheesy spinach curry for those of you who have never had the awesomeness.<\/p>\n
