Matar Paneer Recipe - Mutter Paneer Recipe

matar paneer

Matar paneer or mutter paneer is a simple everyday Punjabi dish and a very popular Indian dish. Matar paneer is best served with naan or roti.

Punjabi matar paneer is so easy to make and it just takes under 20 minutes to prepare, matar (green peas) and paneer is simmered in onion-tomato gravy and for your easy understanding I have made a video tutorial. The best thing about this curry is it is so easy to make and even though it is an everyday dish; this has a slight restaurant feel. My kids love this with butter naan (recipe soon), and so very ideal when you have guests.

Matar paneer can also be made with Tofu (soy paneer), Do check out Tofu manchurian Recipe

Pidiyum Kozhiyum Recipe - How To Make Kerala Style Kozhi Pidi - Kerala Recipes
