Paneer is the most common Indian form of cheese. It is an unaged, acid-set, non-melting farmer cheese. All other cheese melts while cooking whereas paneer does not.

Paneer is one of the few types of cheese indigenous to the Indian subcontinent, and is widely used in Indian cuisine. Unlike most cheeses in the world, the making of paneer does not involve rennet and therefore completely vegetarian. Paneer is a primary source of protein for Buddhists who adhere to vegetarian as opposed to vegan diets.


Ingredients:
1 block paneer, cubed
1 cup frozen green peas, defrosted

Seasoning:
1-2 teaspoons ghee
½ teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon khadai masala (or hot curry powder)
½ teaspoon cumin powder
½ teaspoon coriander powder
½ teaspoon chilli powder
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
Salt to taste

1. Heat the ghee in a pan.
2. Add the mustard seeds once the ghee is hot. You will see the mustard seeds pop. This releases the flavour of the mustard seeds.
3. Add the paneer and fry for 5-7 mins until all sides are slightly brown, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the peas over the top of the paneer. Do not stir at this stage.
5. Add the seasoning and salt, and mix in gently without breaking the paneer pieces.
6. Serve with the Naan bread.
