Here's Palak Paneer. Coincidentally, "baneer" is how you say cheese in Armenian.
How shall we do this? Have people request favorite dishes? Have a recipe of the week that is chosen based on voting? I'm open to anything, even the cooking forum as Aaron suggested.

It's easy, go ahead and sub the tofu in for the cheese if you want, but my guess is it'll work better with softer tofu.
And ryan, it's a veggie curry dish with spinach and cheese.
palak = spinach
paneer = cheese (not cow, maybe goat or sheep? but very different from traditional goat cheese or feta.)
