Just chickpea and spinach curry. I've never heard of the spanky one before
Ah, thought so
Looks very familiar.
I quite fancy the spany one, if only for the name alone. If only someone would POST the goddamn recipe

spanakopita: wash and wilt/cook the spinach (loads of it, it'll shrink down to nothing) and let it cool. Squeeze out any excess liquid, chop, and combine with crumbled feta cheese, an egg or 2, nutmeg, black pepper, salt; you can also add chopped dill or parsley if you like.
put a bit of this filling in the centre of a filo pastry sheet and wrap up - you can either make a megaspanakopitta, building it up in a baking tin like a lasagne (plenty of filo layers brushed with butter, then the filling, then plenty more filo + butter), or you can make individual ones, rolling them up like spring rolls or folding into samosa-like triangles, or folding them into small square packages. Whichever way you wrap the filling, be sure to paint the filo pastry with plenty of melted butter between layers.
Bake in medium-hot oven (about 200C ish?) until the pastry's lightly browned, leave to cool, youre done.

It is
It's like an eggy, cheesey spinach lasagne but with filo rather than pasta.
Sorry I didn't post up the recipe earlier, I nipped out up to my allotment to discover somethings been munching at our spinach before I've had the chance!

It's alright, I had a prawn sandwich for lunch, I don't want more prawns for tea.
Thing is, I don't think I want spinach anymore either

This recepie rocks. Really fresh tasting Saag Paneer. Loads better than any I've ever had at a resturant
Ingreedents
1/3 to 1/2 bulb garlic
Ginger. Wallnut size or smaller
Chillies. Not strong. I use green fat ones with seeds taken out - 4 is about right
2 - 3 Onions
Spinach (fill the wok to the top with it)
Paneer. Block, in money about £1.50 - £2.00 worth.
1 tomato, maybe
Nan bread. Heated with butter for extra yum
How to
Chop / fry Ginger / Chilli
Add chopped onions
Add chopped / crushed garlic
Optionally pre fry paneer so slightly brown and add now or just add 'raw' now (2cm chunks)
Right at the end add spinach and optional chopped tomato
Maybe a little mild red chilli powder for colour
No additional anything required. Every flavour can be identified in this dish and they go together very well. I recon paneer cheese is fairly healthy.

just try and you'll see! very slowly, low temperature... without attaching the pan
