Heavenly Paneer Dish #1 : Mattar Paneer!

Hi everyone,

This is the first recipe from my new Heavenly Paneer (paneer: cottage cheese) series of dishes. Perfect for the vegetarian looking to add protein to their diet!

Ingredients

• 150g green peas (boiled).
• 4 large tomatoes.
• 2 big onions.
• 1 pod of garlic (optional).
• A small piece of ginger.
• 100g paneer (cubed).
• 2 tbsp refined oil.
• 1/2 teaspoon each of dhania (coriander) powder, jeera (cumin) powder, red chilly powder (you can add more if you'd like it spicy!), garam masala.
• A pinch of sugar.
• Fresh coriander leaves.

Method:

• Blend the tomatoes, onions and ginger (and garlic, if you're using it) into a smooth paste.
• Heat the oil in a karhai and fry the paneer till it turns golden brown. 
• After removing the paneer, add the paste and the masala powders except the garam masala. Fry on medium flame for about 10 minutes. Keep it covered to avoid spluttering.
• Add the peas and the fried paneer cubes and also the garam masala. Allow it to simmer for another 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Et voilà! Leave your feedback below please! 

With love,
Suja
