Mutter Paneer is the perfect side dish for Naan, Kulcha or Roti's.

As I had mentioned in my previous post on Butter naan, here is the recipe....

Ingredients:

Paneer (Cottage Cheese) - 250 gms
Green Peas (mutter) - 1 cup boiled
Onion - 1 large
Tomatoes - 3 to 4
Ginger garlic paste - 2 tsp
Poppy seeds - 1 tsp
Cashewnuts - 10
Green Chillies - 2
Chilli powder - 1 tsp
Curd - 1/2 cup
Cream - 2 tsp
Coriander powder - 1 tsp
Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp
Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
Kasoori Methi (dried fenugreek leaves) - 2 tsp
Cinnamon - 1 inch stick
Cardamom - 2
Cloves - 3
Bay leaf - 1
Oil - 2 tsp
Sugar - 2 tsp
Salt to taste

Method:

Take onion, tomatoes, poppy seeds and cashews and grind them to a smooth paste.

Slit the green chllies length wise and keep aside. Take oil in a pan and heat.

Once the oil is hot, add the cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and bay leaf to it. Fry for a min and then add ginger garlic paste and green chillies to it. Fry again for few seconds and add ground onion paste. 

Add little water and allow it to simmer to five minutes.  Take the pan away from flame and add curd to it and mix well. 

Once the oil starts to separate, add garam masala, cumin and coriander powder. Also add chilli powder, salt, sugar and cream and mix well. 

Chop the Paneer into small cubes and add it to the pan. Then add the boiled peas and kasoori methi. Mix well and leave it for another two minutes.

Serve hot with the Butter Naan...

Enjoy cooking... :)
