matar paneer ki sabjimatar paneer recipe | restaurant style matar paneer recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. this exotic paneer curry is cooked in a tomato and onion based sauce with other indian spices. there are several variations to this recipe including adding potato, cream and even cashew paste. however, this recipe is simple matar paneer recipe with just peas and paneer cubes. moreover, this recipe can be extend to aloo matar recipe by replacing paneer with potato.

while, my husband not so great fan of paneer recipes, but for some reason matar paneer is an exception. hence, most of the time, i end up preparing matar paneer recipe in my home. also, the big advantage of this recipe is it can be easily served with both rice and roti. being a south indian, rice is cooked daily for our lunch and dinner. but preparing sambar or rasam can be monotonous. hence i try to bring variations by preparing paneer gravy recipes like kadai paneer recipe or matar paneer recipe. these gravy recipes tastes heaven when served with jeera rice recipe or veg pulav recipes.

furthermore, i would like to add some tips, suggestions and variations for a creamy matar paneer recipe. firstly, i have used fresh or homemade paneer for this recipe which would absorb the flavour of the curry. you can use the store bought but make sure it is fresh and moist before using it in the curry. secondly, you can use both frozen peas or fresh green peas as both should have the same result. if you are using fresh peas, then make sure to boil for 5 – 10 minutes in water. lastly, you can extend this recipe by adding cooking cream to make it more creamy. however, i personally does not recommend it as we have already added besan. moreover i have not added butter, cream, curd, cashew paste too and added besan or chickpea flour for a perfect texture.

finally, i request you to check my other paneer recipes collection with this post of matar paneer recipe. particularly, palak paneer, kadai paneer, paneer tikka masala, malai kofta recipe. in addition, do visit my other indian recipes collection which can be served with matar paneer ki sabji are
