This is similar to Dukkha, an Egyptian spice mix consisting of roasted brazil nuts, roasted sesame seeds, cumin seeds and coriander seeds, all ground a bit, with cinnamon, salt and ground black pepper. Dukkha is proof that we are meant to be happy!

I used 1 lb frozen chopped spinach, and the ratio to spice was perfect. I used a full cup of the sour cream. I didn't blend or process the spinach, consequently I cooked it a little differently, adding the spinach before the sour cream and cooking it until it was very tender adding a bit of water now and then. Used 1/2 small can tomatoes instead of fresh. Made the paneer using 1/2 gallon milk and 2 cups buttermilk. It was absolutely delicious, set up beautifully, was easily able to dice and fry it. I tried it again, this time spicing the paneer with salt and granulated garlic. It did not set up as well, and for the minute flavor difference, I'll stick to the original from now on. I highly recommend this delicious recipe. Make it without the paneer if you are in a hurry, it's still fabulous! Thank you!

This recipe is good, except that the already cooked chicken breast will be dry and mealy by the time you cook it another 20 minutes. Consider using whole boneless skinless thighs, cook in the broth for 20 minutes, remove, chop, return, and cook perhaps 5 minutes longer.
