Matar Paneer
A popular Indian dish, Matar paneer is a simple and versatile recipe that can be made in many different ways. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course. It is rich in protein, calcium, and iron. The process of making Matar paneer starts with cooking the peas until they are soft and then adding them to the curry sauce. Next, the tomatoes are chopped finely and fried in oil until they start to caramelize. The spices are added to the mixture, which includes garam masala, cumin seeds, ginger garlic paste, salt, and red chili powder. The mixture is then boiled for about 20 minutes before adding it to the peas, along with some fresh cream or milk for taste. Once combined, it is garnished with fresh coriander leaves before serving it hot!
