Mutter Paneer – Matar Paneer – Paneer Peas Masala Recipe

January 23, 2011 by Sharmilee J 61 Comments

Mutter Paneer

Mutter Paneer is one recipe which I recently tried and have had a great satisfaction with the taste.There is no proper source for this recipe as I saw this in a TV show then from a book, finally I mixed up these 2 and came up with my version of mutter paneer masala which suits our taste. I always wonder how restaurant gravies alone are so creamy and tasty. Later I found that cream does the magic and gives a richness to the gravy, if you dont have fresh cream alternatively you can use milk too.

Mutter Paneer Recipe

Mutter Paneer Masala – Ingredients:

Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 20 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Sidedish | Recipe Cuisine: North Indian

Paneer – 1/2 cup cubed
Peas – 1/2 cup [I used fresh peas]
Fresh Cream / Milk – 2 tbsp [I used malai, ie top of milk(paal aadai)]
Jeera – 1 tsp
Ginger garlic paste – 2 tsp
Red chilli powder – 1 tsp
Coriander powder – 1 tsp
Garam masala powder – 1 tsp
Coriander leaves – 2 tsp (chopped finely)
Oil – 1 tsp
Salt – to taste

To grind:

Onion – 2 small cut lengthwise
Tomatoes – 2 medium sized
Cinnamon – 1/2 inch piece
Cloves – 1
Cashews – 6
Oil – 2 tsp

Method:

  1. Take all the ingredients listed under ‘to grind’ in a mixer and grind it to a fine paste,Set aside.In a pan heat butter + oil add jeera , let it splutter.How to make mutter paneer  - Step1
  2. Then add ginger garlic paste saute till golden then add onion tomato paste, then add red chilli powder,coriander powder and garam masala powders.

  3. Add required salt and let it cook for few mins until raw smell leaves and becomes a thick sauce.

  4. Now add 1 cup water and let it boil for 2mins.Add peas,
    How to make mutter paneer  - Step4
  5. Mix once and pressure cook for 2 whistles.Once pressure releases open and let the gravy boil for few mins until oil separates.How to make mutter paneer - Step5
  6. Now add fresh cream and let it boil.Meanwhile toast the paneer cubes in dosa tawa till golden with little oil.How to make mutter paneer - Step5
  7. Now add toasted paneer and mix well.Finally garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.
    How to make mutter paneer - Step5

I am sure you will also be surprised like me with this creamy mutter paneer masala, it is very tasty and sure a better alternative to the usual Paneer Butter Masala.

Paneer Peas Masala Recipe

My Notes:

  • For  peas or any green vegetable to stay green, after pressure cook release the pressure manually and open it. This way the veggies will stay green while adding in gravies – Got this tip from my cousin and it worked too.
  • Fresh cream gives a nice flavour to the gravy giving it a restaurant taste. You can use milk too replacing cream and it gives a nice flavor too.
  • This gravy goes well with any dry rice like fried rice/ pulao or even with naan/rotis. After I tried this I prefer this to PB masala. I really regret for not trying this for all these days, and am glad I tried this now atleast 🙂

    Delicious it looks, it is also one of my favourite side dishes to go with crisp rotis 🙂 🙂

    On a very serious note, I am planning to start cooking, may be in a small way initially.. Let me know how I should go about it?

    Hi tried many of your recipe but sorry did not find tome to post a comment.
    This particular one My children loved it so much when I packed for their lunch and also got an award from my second fellow class mates " Your Mom (ME) is the best cook".
    I forced myself free to pass on the award to you since I do not deserve it.

    Thanks a Lot , bye

      No no the orange color comes from the tomatoes and the red chilli powder(homemade) I used. Infact it was more orangy that I had to reduce the contrast 🙂
