i've been recently exploring the paneer section of 660 curries, and can definitely recommend it. it includes directions for making your own paneer, which i haven't tried yet but doesn't look too hard.
660 Curries is an excellent book for learning about the "bases" for Indian cooking and curries. Iyer does a great job of laying out several of the basic spice blends that are used and referring to those in each of his recipes. He also gives good information about how to make the onion base that is used in many curries.
