Instructions: How to Make Matar Paneer

• Prepare the Base

  Heat ghee/oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds; once they sizzle, sauté the onions until golden brown. Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chili, followed by the tomato puree and dry spices. Cook until the oil slightly separates from the masala.

• Cook Peas and Gravy

  Add the green peas and a splash of water. Cover and cook for 4–5 minutes until the peas are tender.

• Finish with Paneer

  Add the paneer cubes and salt. Simmer gently for another 3 minutes to allow the paneer to absorb the flavors without becoming rubbery. Sprinkle garam masala and garnish with coriander.
