Matar Paneer

Matar Paneer is a classic North Indian dish that combines tender paneer (Indian cottage cheese) with green peas in a rich and flavourful tomato-based gravy. This hearty and comforting dish is a staple in Indian households and often enjoyed with naan, roti, or Basmati rice. Known for its creamy texture and aromatic spices, Matar Paneer is easy to prepare yet packed with restaurant-style flavours.
