RECIPE TIP
Paneer is a fresh, non-melting cheese used in South Asian cuisines. Look for it in the packaged cheese section or deli section of grocery stores or specialty food stores. You can substitute fresh farmers’ cheese (queso fresco) or halloumi.
Vegan Variation: To make this stew vegan, omit the paneer and use extra-firm tofu or add another can of chickpeas.
