COOK: Mattar Paneer

One of my favorite stand by dishes when traveling India is mattar paneer. Since I don’t eat meat while in the country, generally one dish per meal includes paneer in order to get some protein. This dish blends a creamy Indian spiced sauce with peas and paneer. Paneer is a non-melting cheese made by curdling heated milk with lemon juice or other food acid. Eventually it’s shape is similar to tofu. It can be cubed, sliced, grilled, sauteed or crumbled.

Enjoy the video attached as well as the recipe. Serve this dish over rice with roti for a very filling meal.
