People have been asking us where where to buy good quality paneer. Well, we have never bought paneer because it's super easy to make and tastes so delicious when it's fresh! Moji used to make it when my sister and I were not around because we loved it as a raw cheese and ate it all up before she could make the final dish. While most people are familiar with oh-so-tasty Saag Paneer (spinach with cheese), we grew up eating Tzamun, which is fried paneer cooked in a tomato sauce with green peppers. So so good!
