Flavourful and tasty masala mattar paneer simplified for a quick cooking session to enjoy along with a bowl of rice or few rotis for a cozy dinner time.
Ingredients:
- ¼ cups oil
- ½ bowl of diced paneer
- 1 tablespoon jeera
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 tomatoes
- 3-4 green chillies slit
- 1 cup fresh peas
- Salt as per taste
Seasoning:
- 2-3 small cubes of butter
- ½ tablespoon jeera
- 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon Bhoj Masale Kashmiri red chili powder
- ½ tablespoon Bhoj Masale coriander powder
- A sprinkle of Bhoj Masale kasuri methi
Instructions:
- Fry the paneer: Fry ½ bowl of diced paneer in ¼ cup of oil and set it aside.
- Prepare the tomato paste: In the same pan you fried the paneer, add 1 tablespoon jeera, 2 bay leaves, 4 tomatoes and 3-4 green chillies slit and saute well. Once cool, add (except the bay leaves) it to a mixer and make a fine paste.

- Grating some paneer at the end as garnish will give a rich taste.
