making aloo matar paneer
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 2 litre pressure cooker.
- Add ½ teaspoon cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Keep the flame to a low and then add the ground onion-tomato paste.
- As soon as you add the paste, quickly stir.
- The paste splutters a lot, so cover the cooker partly with its lid keeping some open space at one side, so that the steam formed within gets an outlet.
- Do check in between a couple of times and give a stir.
- Once the masala paste stops spluttering, then add 2 tablespoons cream or malai.
- Add ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon kashmiri red chilli powder, ½ teaspoon fennel powder (optional) and 1 teaspoon coriander powder.
- Mix very well and continue to saute the masala on a low to medium flame.

- Now add ½ cup green peas and 1 to 1.25 cups diced potatoes.
- Mix well and saute for a minute.
- Add 1 cup water. For a thick gravy you can add ⅔ to ¾ cup water. mix again very well.
- Add ¼ teaspoon sugar. Sugar is optional and can be skipped.
- Add salt as per taste. cover the cooker and pressure cook for 6 to 7 minutes or for 2 whistles on medium flame.
- As soon as the pressure settles down on its own, open the lid.
- Add ¾ to 1 cup paneer cubes.
- The gravy will be bubbling hot, so the paneer cubes will get cooked in this gravy. Mix well.
- Then add ½ teaspoon garam masala powder and ¼ teaspoon crushed kasuri methi (dry fenugreek leaves).
- Lastly add 2 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves. Mix again well.
