Matar Paneer – Indian Cottage Cheese with Peas Simple recipe

by Joy September 10, 2019

My kids love Matar Paneer and I observed that most kids in Indian kids love it. The sweet taste of peas blended with rich cream gravy is really a way to go for little kids. If you are thinking of a quick potluck recipe or expecting some guests and don’t have much time – Matar Paneer is a very good option. It is easy, quickly made and delicious.
My Matar Paneer recipe below does not use any nuts, something to remember if anyone has nut allergies.
I love Matar paneer with Jeera rice, but it goes well with Poori, naan or chapati as well.
