Matar Paneer Recipe
I love peas a lot...I always have a bag of frozen peas in my freezer...It is always nice to eat peas and paneer together...Paneer is a indian cottage cheese that is soft and it wont melt down when it is fried..This recipe is a green creamy dish that goes well will anything...This dish is very mild one,I have another method of making this dish I will post soon, that version is little bit spicer.

Version 2: Matar Paneer (Tomato Sauce)
Ok this is my second way of making this delicious dish. This one is a little spicy and a tangy mutter paneer. If you want to see my mild and creamy version of mutter paneer click here. I made this one in pressure cooker since I used fresh peas...If you are using frozen u can just cook it on the kadai. Since I cooked both paneer and peas in pressure cooker, the paneer got nice flavour inside too, because you know that paneer is pretty bland right. This can be served with roti or rice. I think I served that with my Aromatic Rice Pilaf. So go ahead and try it...

Madhu
Hi Aarthi,
If we add milk then it gets curdled right. what to do not to get curdled?
Aarthi
@Madhuhis way it wont get curdled. The curry shouldn't be boiling while you add milk or you can take a small amount of curry and it with milk, then pour that to the curry, this way it wont curdle. This process is called tempering.
morri
I made it today. I like that the recipe uses a fresh coriander masala, it gives the dish such a lovely green colour.
By the way, the recipe says: "Throw in the frozen peas and peas". Shouldn't it say "peans and paneer"?
vineetaann
Aarthi, why do you put the fried paneer into water? does it help in maintaining its' consistency? also is the water at room temperature/cold/hot?
Aarthi
@vineetaannit is hot water, it makes the paneer soft
