Mattar Paneer Recipe
Report
Mattar paneer is a delicious Indian curry recipe made with peas and a soft cheese called paneer (although tofu is a good substitute). The sauce is similar to a butter chicken sauce and is so tasty. We've simplified the cooking method to make it easy to make and it's every bit as good as any restaurant mattar panner.

Ingredients
- 1 package paneer 350 grams - see notes
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 tablespoons minced ginger
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons EACH: ground cumin and coriander
- 1 teaspoon EACH: turmeric and garam masala
- 14 ounce can tomatoes fire roasted, if possible
- 1 cup frozen peas
- ½ cup PLAIN yogurt
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Cut the paneer into cubes, put them in a bowl, and cover them with cold water. (This helps to soften store-bought paneer.)
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, ginger, and garlic and cook until the onion is well browned, about 8 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala and let the spices cook for 1 minute.
- Transfer the onions to a blender. Add the tomatoes and blend on high until smooth. Return the sauce to the pan.
- Stir in the peas and yogurt. Drain the paneer and add it to the pan then heat the curry gently over medium heat. Add up to ½ cup of water to thin the curry, if needed. Season with salt, to taste.
Notes
- If you can't find paneer, medium tofu makes a great substitute. Skip soaking it and simply add it at the end with the peas and yogurt and let it warm through.
