Paneer tikka masala is a staple in my house. I like to eat with naan and rice!
Paneer is an Indian cottage cheese that's used in dishes both savory and sweet.
You may know a variation of this dish called chicken tikka masala.
This is exactly the same minus the chicken and filled with rich chunks of paneer.
Substitutions: If you don't have heavy whipping cream you can use half-and-half. No paneer? You can make your own with lemon and milk.
