Some of the most popular Indian dishes in history combine the simple pairing of crumbly paneer cheese with the soft delicate texture of peas. It’s no surprise, then, that this Paneer and Peas Butter Masala is a winner with all members of our household. I love to cook this dish because it’s quick, utilizing the freshness of frozen peas and the rich flavor of cubed paneer to get results fast. From skillet to plate in less than 15 minutes.
