Do you like Paneer? What’s your favourite paneer dish? My favourite is Matar Paneer (Paneer and peas curry). I love it because of its simplicity and the fact that it can be cooked in a number of ways. I usually cook it in a pressure cooker and add lots of tomatoes.


A small introduction to paneer for those who don’t know about it. Paneer is an Indian cheese. It is very nutritious and quite popular in India. There are a number of ways in which you can eat it. Here I am sharing a simple, quick and easy recipe. You can adjust the spice level according to your taste buds. It tastes amazing with naan, roti or bread.


Do give it a try and share your experience.
