Matar Paneer Curry (A healthier version)/ Green Peas & Cottage Cheese Curry

Well what made me try matar paneer differently? I was tired of adding cumin powder, coriander powder, cinnamon stick etc etc. Well though let's try and make something different and easy too, especially the healthy way. Came up with this recipe, trust me it tastes really nice. I would like to go the healthier route whenever possible. How about you?? Let's get rolling :-); without any further delay.

Paneer	400 grams cubed
Onion	1 small diced
Tomato	1 medium diced
Garlic	2 cloves
Ginger	1 inch piece
Green chillies	2
Cashew nut	2 pieces
Almond	2 pieces
Green peas (fresh)	¼ cup
Milk	¼ cup
Turmeric	¼ tsp

Method of Preparation:

• In a pan boil the following ingredients: onion, tomato, garlic, ginger, chillies, cashew nut and almonds. Boil for about 10 to 15 minutes until it becomes tender.
• Allow it to cool down and blend it well until smooth. Keep it aside.
• In a non-stick pan add 1 tbsp oil, when it’s hot enough add the above mixture to it. Allow it to cook for 3 – 5 minutes and keep stirring so that it does not stick to the pan. Add turmeric, salt and sugar to it. Mix well.
• Add paneer pieces to it. Once it starts boiling, add peas and milk to it. Let it boil for another 5 to 10 minutes. The time would depend on the consistency you want for the gravy.
• Add garam masala and garnish with cilantro.
• Keep it covered for 2 to 3 minutes. Then it’s all ready to be served hot with rotis, naan or rice.

Enjoy cooking!!!!!
