Chickpea and Paneer Curry image

I came up with this, when I forgot to buy spinach (! :)) for Palak Paneer, but had a craving for something Indian. It turned out very nice, and I decided it's a keeper :). I hope you'll enjoy as well. Serve with rice, naan and/or parati, yoghurt, chutneys, ...

I made this curry in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 8 hours. It was so easy and the curry was delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of paneer, but this dish changed my mind. The paneer was soft and creamy, and it paired perfectly with the chickpeas and curry sauce.
