Paneer=YUM
Never heard of it canned. We get it wrapped in plastic in the fridge, like cheese, which it is, I guess.

I'm thinking of Dehli saag (sans paneer), which is spinach and mustard greens with ginger and spices. Very delicious. Jyoti has other varieties, too, but the saag is my favorite. I've seen it frozen and canned, but I have not seen the prepared variety in the fridge. I suppose the plain paneer (cheese) is there, but I've never felt the need to make it all from scratch since there are fantastic prepared options out there. Someday I'd like to take an Indian cooking class or three. That would be cool.
Saag paneer was my introduction to both saag and paneer.
Our local Indian restaurant is a gem.
Ages ago, Brewer indulged me routinely, letting me pick out all the delicious cheese bits, and eating only the greens that stuck to them because I loved them so. (the way to a malkin's heart must be through the paneer)
The server (also the proprietor of the restaurant) sometimes wore a nametag with about 375 characters on it. It is the law here that anyone serving alcohol wear a nametag. He always sported a half-smile and we joked that that half-smile might have been the downfall of the British Empire.
One night at the restaurant, a party at a nearby table ordered their food, and when asked what they'd like to drink, one diner (a 20 something guy) ordered milk. Without hesitation, the server asked "Would you like a nipple with that sir?" and we could almost not contain ourselves.
