About Matar Paneer
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
Swasthi Shreekanth presents Matar Paneer as a North Indian pea-and-paneer curry made in varied household forms. This account selects her sauté-and-puree stovetop method, with frozen peas and unfried diced paneer.
Oil starts green cardamom, cumin, ginger, garlic and onion. Tomatoes, cashews and salt cook until soft; the cooled mixture is blended smooth with the selected optional plain yogurt.
A separate ghee portion starts the gravy stage, with optional cinnamon and tej patta. Turmeric, Kashmiri chili powder, garam masala and ground coriander season the same onion-tomato puree before peas and water join.
The thickened gravy receives crushed dried fenugreek leaves, selected optional green chili and sugar, then paneer. Heavy cream finishes the selected version, with coriander leaves on top and ready basmati rice as the chosen accompaniment.
The author describes subtle sweetness from sautéed onion and tomato, a creamy cashew base and the milky flavour of cream. Her quicker, pressure-cooker and differently substituted versions remain separate preparations.
