Directions
If you are using fresh green peas, boil them in salted water for 7-8 minutes or until tender; drain them. If you are using frozen green peas, thaw them before using.
Keep all the ingredients ready including the paneer and green peas.
In a pan / kadai, heat 2-3 tbsp of oil. Fry the paneer cubes in medium high flame. Do not fry the paneer for too long, as they will turn dense and hard.
Immediately, transfer the fried paneer to water, this will retain the softness of the paneer.
Now we will make the masala paste. In a blender jar, add all the ingredients under "For Grinding" and blend it to a smooth paste and keep aside.
In the same kadai, add 1 tsp cumin seeds and 1 bay leaf.
Keeping the flame low, add the ground masala paste, and mix well. Continue to sauté until the paste thickens.
Cover the pan and cook until the oil seperates.
Now add turmeric powder, Kashmiri chili powder, coriander powder , poppy seeds or khus khus and mix well. Sauté until spices turn aromatic.
For extra flavor, at this stage add 2 tsp of ghee and give it a quick stir. Add in the green peas and stir well.
Now add around 1 cup of water, and salt and mix well until a smooth gravy is attained. Cover and cook for 10 mins, until matar is cooked well.
Now its time to add our fried paneer pieces and mix it gently.
Finally add, 1 tsp of kasuri methi, 1 tsp of garam masala and combine it well.
Cover and cook for another 5 mins for the flavors to set in. Garnish with some fresh coriander leaves.
Our rich, creamy and tasty restaurant style matar paneer is ready to be served !! Enjoy this delicious Restaurant Style Matar Paneer with any flavored rice, butter naan or roti.
Conclusion
While sautéing the masala paste tends to splutter, cover the pan partly with a lid until the spluttering stops. If you want creamier curry, add some fresh cream.
