This is a low fat matar paneer recipe that tastes very close to the restaurant style matar paneer. Make sure u don't skip the kasuri methi coz tht's what gives the spl flavour & taste to this dish.
Matar Paneer(lowfat peas paneer curry):
Heat 2 tsp oil. Saute , finely chopped, 1 inch gin, 3 cloves garlic, 2 medium onions until brownish.
Generally the ratio of gin:garlic is 1:2. So adjust accordingly.
Add in abt 1 tbsp cahewnuts & saute till slighttly brown.
Now add 3 medium tomatoes chopped finely chopped, turmeric pwd & saute till they turn pulpy.
Let cool & grind adding around 1/4 to 1/2 cup water.
Should be a real fine paste.
Now add another tsp of oil in the wok.
Add in the spices-1/2 tsp garam masala pwd, 1 tsp each cori & cumin pwd, salt & chilly pwd to taste.
mix & imme add in the puree.
Take care not to burn the masalas.
If u r not comfortable adding the masalas into oil,
u can add the puree first & then add the spice powders. cook for 3-4 mins.
Now add 1 cup frozen peas(washed) & cook for 5 mins or so until peas are 3/4th cooked.
Add around 200 gms paneer(I like to cut mine into small pieces.
U can cut accor to ur preference) & let cook for a further 2-3 mins.
Add 1 tsp kasoori methicrushed between palms to make a rough powder. mix well.
Serve after 15 mins so with phulkas or chapathis.
Note:
U can use low fat milk & make low fat paneer.
While making home made paneer, u can add some salt & spices(like pepper,chilly flakes, kasuri methi, other dried herbs to ur liking) into the milk when it's simmmering & then curdle it using curd or lemon juice. This way ur paneer will not be very bland.
I use the same recipe to make mushroom matar & tht tastes good too.
Around 2 tbsb of milk can be added towards the end for a more creamier texture.
