Paneer is an Indian cottage cheese that is soft and it wont melt down when it is fried. This recipe is a green creamy dish that goes well will anything. This dish is very mild one, I have another method of making this dish that version is little bit spicer which is added in version 2.

Version 2: Matar Paneer (Red Sauce)
Pin This is my second way of making this delicious dish. This one is a little spicy and a tangy mutter paneer. If you want to see my mild and creamy version of mutter paneer click here. I made this one in pressure cooker since I used fresh peas…If you are using frozen u can just cook it on the kadai. Since I cooked both paneer and peas in pressure cooker, the paneer got nice flavour inside too, because you know that paneer is pretty bland right. This can be served with roti or rice. I think I served that with my Aromatic Rice Pilaf. So go ahead and try it.
