Yah, well. Regarding spinach, palak paneer and indian spices, one doesn't really need to overdo it. Actually I discovered palak paneer about a decade ago as ready made meal in some supermarket. As ready made meal it wasn't that great, but still interesting. Got the idea that spinach doesn't need to be bland, and looked into that palak paneer thing. Experimented with ready made deep-frozen spinach like it is commonly available, put some pieces of goat cheese into it, sprinkled some curry powder into it, and it was actually better! :-) Of course that also depends on ones tastes and the large variety of curry powders. Anyway, that's just one uncomplicated way to make it less bland, imo. And one can combine this with all sorts of stuff, be it crunchy sweet potatoes, fish fingers, whatever. Doesn't have to be rice at all.
