Paneer Pasta / Curried Paneer Pasta / Indian Style Cheese Pasta

Paneer Pasta / Indian style Cheesy Pasta / Curried Paneer Pasta recipe with step by step photos. Paneer Pasta is my kids' recent favorite Pasta. My kids love both Paneer & Pasta a lot and when both combined in a single dish is a super duper feast for them.(comment given by elder kidoo after having Paneer Pasta - super duper yummy pasta Mommy] Not only my kids most of the kids love Pasta & Paneer. So definitely this is one easy & handy recipe for Moms to feed their picky eaters. Also an interesting and easy to make recipe with great taste. 

I do not want to make it spicy so added less masala. But if you want it spicy and a masala flavored pasta you can add more chilli powder & other spice powders. Here I used Tri colored Fusili Pasta, you can use any pasta which your kids love.
