mutter paneer

Indian cottage cheese

Mutter paneer is an Indian dish of soft cheese cubes and green peas in a spiced tomato-based sauce.

It's a staple of North Indian cuisine and appears on virtually every Indian restaurant menu: I'll have the mutter paneer with naan.

The name comes from Hindi—mutter means peas, paneer is the fresh cheese.
