Green peas(mattar/mutter) and cheese curry
Ingredients
- 1 lb Paneer cubed
- 1" piece Ginger
- 6 nos Garlic pods
- 2 nos Onions medium) or 400 gm (diced
- 1 tsp Turmeric powder
- 2 tsp Red chilly powder
- 1 ½ Coriander powder
- 1 tbsp Cumin powder Jeerakam
- 2 nos Tomato chopped, large
- 2 3/4 cups Water or whey
- 5 cups Green peas canned or frozen
- ½ tsp Garam masala powder
- Salt As reqd
- ½ cup Vegetable oil
- Coriander leaves for garnishing
- 1 no Pressure cooker minimum 8 liter
Instructions
- Place pressure cooker on high flame and pour the oil into it.
- When the oil is hot, add onions and fry till golden brown.
- Add turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, tomatoes and 1/4 cup water or whey.
- Stir occasionally and cook till tomatoes are pulpy and oil separates, for about 5 mins.
- Close cooker and bring to full pressure on high heat, then reduce heat and cook for another minute.
- Remove cooker from heat and release pressure by slightly lifting the vent weight.
- Open cooker and place it on medium heat and add paneer.
- Simmer for about 5 mins and stir in garam masala powder.
- Garnish with coriander leaves.
- :- Serve hot.
- :- I use either "Nanak" brand paneer or any brand of queso blanco (you can find it in any of the mexican stores or at costco). Queso blanco (queso = cheese; blanco = white) is paneer but most brands are salted..
- :- You can also substitute paneer with extra firm tofu.
- :-As always play around with the spices to suit your mood!
- :- I find its tastier if you don¦t fry paneer and its also healthier!
