Paneer or cottage cheese becomes an obvious choice for a vegetarian meal and in India you will get a plethora of vegetarian dishes made with paneer/cottage cheese. One such dish is Aloo Matar Paneer. Here cubed Paneer is mixed with Potatoes and Green Peas along with some Indian masalas/spices and what you get is a delicious mix of flavors. This dish can be paired with any Indian bread like parantha, naan, rooti, poori and phulka.
