Mutter panner | Panner peas masala


Paneer and peas combined together also tastes awesome. If you have less paneer, you can prepare this. This is a Jain recipe with no root veggie. For more gravy, I added cashew and almond paste. If adding onion, the cashew paste can be skipped. A very rich flavorful gravy can be served with pulkhas or any simple pulao.




Ingredients:

  • Paneer, cubed - 1 cup
  • Peas (fresh or frozen) - 1/2 cup
  • Tomato - 3
  • Yogurt (curd) - 1/4 cup
  • Cashew - 5
  • Almonds - 5
  • Milk - 1/4  cup
  • Red chilly powder - 2 tsp
  • Coriander powder - 4 tsp
  • Cloves, cardamon - 1 each
  • Cinnamon - a small stick
  • Oil or Butter - 2 tsp
  • Salt - as per taste 

Method:


Grind the cashew ans blanched almonds with milk to a smooth paste. Microwave the peas for one minute.
Boil the tomatoes in 2 cups of water with cloves, cardamon and cinnamon. Cook till tomatoes are pulpy. Switch it off. After it cools remove the skin. In a blender, puree the tomatoes.

Return the puree to the saucepan and add the red chili powder, coriander powder and salt and put it to cook over a medium flame. Once, it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and stir in the yogurt and garam masala powder. Cook till oil separates.

Add the peas and stir for 2 minutes then add paneer cubes and cook for 5 minutes. Stir the cashew paste and cook for 10 minutes with little water. Add crushed kasuri methi and switch it off.

Such an everyday dish and you have made it look so good! Sometimes in the quest for good food we forget the comforts of dear old Mutter-Paneer :)
