Mattar paneer - Indian cheesy peas.

This recipe uses ready made paneer - if you want to make your own paneer (unsalted Indian curd cheese) there is a recipe here.

Ingredients

For Peas and spices

Method

Peas and spices

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a pan or wok and fry the ginger and onions for 4 minutes
  2. Add all of the spices and salt and stir fry for a minute.
  3. Add the peas, a few tablespoons of water and cook the peas until done and a little spicy gravy is left
  4. Add the paneer cubes and boil for 5 minutes

Serving suggestions

Serve hot with chapattis

Peeling ginger

There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
