I massively modified this recipe from http://www.amazon.co...ian slow cooker.

The original recipe calls for 2 lbs of spinach and makes so much a sleever would be eating it until they died. It's also waaaay too spicy in the original and hers is made in the crockpot. MUCH faster in pressure cooker.

Ingredients

1 lb fresh baby spinach

Peel where necessary and roughly chop:

-1 large yellow onion

-2 medium tomatoes

-5 cloves of garlic

-1 2 inch piece of ginger

-1 serrano or jalapeno chili

2 tablespoons ground cumin (grind in coffee grinder yourself or buy amongst mexican spices)

1 tsp or less cayenne pepper. Put less, you can add more later

2 tsp garam masala (can buy in most stores)

2 tsp turmeric

2 tsp Salt

1 packet fried or fresh paneer (indian grocery store, frozen section). I will also post recipe for homemade since this is good source of vegetarian high Protein.

It's an Indian Dish called Palak Paneer. I like it because it's yummy and I think for those of us tired of eating Protein shakes, a food-based way to get some protein in our tummies.

Never mind. I'm a space cadet this morning....I didn't realize the recipe name was in the title to the post. <dduh>

Ty Gamergirl, I was sleeved on 8/6/13 and i m new to the site and also a veg. I m tried to figure out what to have during 2 weeks of liquid diet. Unable to take milk or protien shake. I am taking greek yogurt and veg broth and puree dals

I have no idea what "Paneer" is..... but it sure sounds yummy. I was worried about eating anything spicy after the surgery, but yesterday I liquefied a can of Progresso Southwestern Vegetable soup and added some cajun spice. It was pretty hot, but my tummy loved it. It looks wayyy too complicated to make just for myself. Maybe I'll look for a frozen version once I get to the pureed, soft food stage. I love Indian food. Can you recommend any Frozen brands that are good? I'm the queen of the microwave.

So i asked around on this topic. I eat meat but I don't enjoy it. One of the great suggestions I got was to make your soup, and then when it's cold, mix in some unflavored Protein powder. Then when you re-heat, do so very slowly so it doesn't clump. I'm looking forward to trying that.

In a thread I started about Vegetarian sleevers, I posted a pic of an example vegetarian day where I think you could get 80+ gms of protein from vegetarian food. Would love to see some of yours suggestions in that thread as well. But it's soft/solid foods, not on liquids where you and I both seem to be.

I also reached out to another vet sleever and she sent me some good suggestions, which I will share with you via PM.

Grass eaters, unite!

It's an indian home-made cheese that is quite nutritious. We ate spicy food--or more accurately drank spicy food/broth--after 4 days and we've been doing well with it.

My fav is palak paneer, but I also grill veg and paneer like you grill chicken after marinating it. You can use green/red peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, paneer cubes, tomatoes, eggplant, asparagues etc. You can marinate with yogurt and spices or currry paste for an hour or 2 and grill and enjoy them.
