Description

One of the most popular vegetarian Indian dishes!

Made with spinach or a mix of green leaves, Indian chese and spices such cumin, coriander, ginger, garlic, turmeric and cilantro.

To cut through the fattiness of the cheese you need fresh acidity and to match the vegetable taste you need an herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc or a similar wine such Albariño or Grüner Veltliner.

Chenin Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris help to calm the heat from the spices.
