Recipe: Shahi Paneer Matar In 15 Minutes

November 21, 2022 17:21 IST

The humble Matar Paneer is an all-weather dish.

When you dunk cubes of cottage cheese and green peas in an easily-made rich, creamy cashew-based Mughlai-style tomato gravy you, voila, create Shahi Paneer Matar.

Bethica Das's recipe goes well with steamed rice, biryani, pulav, naan, tandoori roti and chapatti.

This paneer recipe is quite typical of Bethica's repertoire of recipes -- she has a recipe for everyone and does traditional, conventional just as good as hatke stuff.

Shahi Paneer Matar

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

Method

Editor's Note: Non-veggies can replace the paneer with boneless pieces of chicken and vegan folks may replace the paneer with tofu.

This gravy is great for alu too and instead of 200 gm paneer use 2 large boiled potatoes.
