Recipe for Mattar Paneer

Ingredients

  • 15 paneer cubes
  • 1 cup of fresh peas or frozen peas
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 2 tbsp tomato sauce (or ketchup)
  • 1 piece of cinnamon stick
  • 3 cardamom pods
  • 3 cloves
  • 2 red chillies, slit (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • salt
  • oil

Cooking Directions

Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add your fresh peas/frozen peas and cook until soft. It should take about 5 mins. Just eat one pea and see if it’s cooked. Fresh peas take a little bit more time to cook than frozen peas. Remove using slotted spoon and keep aside.

Combine tomato sauce/ketchup, chilli powder, turmeric powder, sugar and 3-4 tbsps water in a small bowl. Mix to make a paste.

Heat 2-3 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add cinnamon stick, cardamom and cloves. When fragrant, add the chopped onions and fry until very soft and you can mash them up a bit.

Add ginger-garlic paste and fry until raw smell goes away. Lower heat and add paste from step 2. Mix and fry on medium-low heat until the acidic smell of the ketchup fades.

Raise heat to medium and add the chopped tomatoes. Mix and cover. Cook for 10-15 minutes until tomatoes mash up and a thick gravy is obtained.

Add 1/4 cup of water. Add paneer cubes and cover. Let cook for about 5 minutes.

Add the peas and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.

Serve!
