Instructions
Prepare the Spice Paste

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Matar Paneer
- For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of oil.
- If using frozen peas, add them during the last 5 minutes of cooking to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies to control the spiciness according to your preference.
- Allow the Matar Paneer to rest for a few minutes after cooking. This allows the flavors to deepen and the gravy to thicken slightly.
