Cheese is one of the most favorite versatile ingredient of every family. My family loves cheese more than paneer. Generally when we visit restaurant our first choice of paneer sabji is paneer Tikka masala. Cheese being favorite to my home I always make cheese Tikka masala at home. I have served the cheese Tikka masala with whole wheat kulcha today.
