Paneer Matar/ Matar Paneer
For BM 24, I picked the theme of 3 state curries, and honestly this one, thought inclining towards punjabi style cooking is representative of modern day urban style cooking, based on traditional approach. So if you want to associate a state, make it the capital.
Ingredients
1 cup fresh paneer chopped in cubes
1 cup green peas par boiled
2 medium size tomatoes
1 large onion
2 tspn ginger garlic paste
1 tspn coriander cumin seeds powder
1 tspn garam masala
1 tspn red chilli powder
salt to taste
1 tspn cumin seeds
Oil to cook (abt 2 tspn)
Method
1) Grind the onion and tomatoes to fine paste separately
2) In a pan, heat the oil, add cumin seeds and let them crackle
3) Add the onion paste, ginger garlic paste and saute till it oozes oil at the edges
4) Next add the tomato paste and continue sauteeing for about 7-8 min. Add water as needed
5) Now add all the dry masalas and mix well
6) Add the par boiled peas and salt , cover and let it cook for another 2-3 min
7) Next add the chopped paneer and gently mix
8) Serve with chopped coriander as garnish.
