Matar paneer is among a few cottage cheese gravy recipes that can be prepared with onion and garlic and pair excellently with puri, rice, raita, or any other dry sabzi on the platter. Here is a recipe for you.
200 g paneer 2 tomatoes 1 cup peas, water Salt to taste 1 tbsp oil 1 green chilli 1-inch ginger ½ tsp cumin seeds ½ tsp turmeric, garam masala 1 tsp kasuri methi, coriander ½ tsp machur powder ½ tsp chilli powder 1 tbsp butter, coriander leaves
Heat oil in a kadhai and saute paneer in it until it is brown. Take it out and dunk it in water.
Melt butter in a pan and saute cumin seeds and turmeric powder. Turn tomatoes, chilli, and ginger into a paste.
Add this paste to the kadhai and saute. Add powdered spices and cover with the lid.
Add peas, water, and kasuri methi. Cook for 10 minutes, lower the flame, and add paneer cubes.
Simmer for 10-12 minutes so that the peas are soft and the paneer has absorbed the flavour of the gravy.
Garnish the gravy with coriander leaves and serve it.
