Matar paneer is a very common yet highly popular side dish eaten along with roti / naan. My son loves paneer and can eat it in any form, but its not the same with Mutter (green peas). So pairing up the two, he polishes it off without any complaints at all. So here you go with the recipe ....

METHOD:
1.
Sprinkle a little refined flour over the paneer
cubes.
2.
Rub the flour all over it.
3.
Heat 2 – 3 tbsp oil, shallow fry or you can also
deep fry the paneer in hot oil till golden brown. Remove on to an absorbent
kitchen paper and keep till further use.
4.
In the same oil in which you fried the paneer
(reduce the amount if you feel its too much), add in the onions and ginger
garlic paste.
5.
Sauté in medium heat till soft, golden brown and
oil starts to separate out.
6.
Now add in the tomato puree and again sauté till
the tomato is cooked and oil starts to separate out.
7.
Add in all the masalas and fry them in oil for
half a min.
8.
Tip in the boiled peas and ½ - ¾ cup water.
Bring to a boil.
9.
Add in the curd, cashew paste and salt, stir and
simmer. The gravy will thicken a little.
10.
Switch off the flame and add in the paneer
pieces. Cover and allow the paneer to soak up the juices.
11.
If initially the gravy was a little runny do not
worry as the paneer will absorb a little.
12.
Serve hot with Indian flat bread garnished with
coriander leaves and drizzled over with a little fresh cream.
