Matar paneer is a popular & most loved North Indian dish prepared from soft cottage cheese (paneer cubes) and green peas cooked in a spiced tomato & onion based gravy. Paneer is a good source of protein & improves bone & teeth health. My son is a great fan of paneer recipes, and matar paneer is his favourite, so once a week, I end up preparing matar paneer at home. This dish taste heaven when served with Jeera rice or Veg pulav.
