Growing up Matar Paneer, a curry made from Indian cheese and peas, was hands down my favorite dish. My brother and I would fight over the last paneer in the pot because we loved it so much. These days, I don't have a lot of time to cook so I have been using my Tikka Masala sauce to quickly whip this childhood favorite together for myself and family.
