How to make Matar Paneer

It is very easy to make the delicious Matar Paneer curry from Dhaba. First of all, heat some oil in a pan and fry the paneer pieces until they become light golden. This improves both the taste and texture of the cheese.

Now add cumin seeds in the same pan. When cumin starts crackling, add onion and fry till it turns golden. After this add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute.

Now add tomato puree and cook well until the oil starts separating. Then add turmeric, red chilli, coriander powder and salt and fry the spices well.

Now add peas to it and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then add cheese and mix gently so that the cheese does not break. Now add some water to it and cook for 5-7 minutes.

Finally add cream and garam masala. This will make the gravy thick and rich and will taste exactly like a dhaba. Garnish with green coriander and serve with hot roti, naan or jeera rice.
