Matar paneer recipe (Mutter paneer)

garlic ((cloves))

ginger (chopped)

onions (cubed (1 large or 2 medium))

tomatoes ((2 large) chopped)

turmeric

cashewnuts

salt

oil (or butter)

cinnamon ((dalchini) (optional))

bay leaf ((optional))

coriander powder

green peas ((matar) (boiled or frozen))

water ((use more if needed))

green chili (deseeded & slit (optional))

paneer ((indian cottage cheese))

kasuri methi

coriander leaves ((cilantro))

cream

If using store bought paneer, soak it in a bowl of hot water for 20 mins. Drain the water and use. This step helps to keep the paneer soft.

Pour 1 tbsp oil to a hot pan. When the oil turns hot, add 2 green cardamoms, ginger &amp; garlic. 

Fry for a minute. Next add 1 cup chopped onions &amp; saute until they turn light golden. 

Put in 1½ cup tomatoes, ¼ teaspoon turmeric and ¼ teaspoon salt. 

Saute for 2 to 3 mins. Cook covered until soft &amp; mushy.&nbsp;

Add 10 cashews. Cool this completely. Make a fine puree of this in a blender without water.

Preparation for mutter paneer

Heat 2 tbsps oil in the same pan. Saute 1 inch cinnamon &amp; 1 bay leaf for a minute. 

Pour the pureed onion tomato mixture. If your puree is not smooth, then pass it through a filter/sieve.

Add ¾ to 1 teaspoon chili powder, ¾ to 1 teaspoon garam masala and ½ to ¾ teaspoon coriander powder. 

Saute until the masala comes together and turns thick. Keep stirring to prevent burning.

Next add ¾ cup green peas. Pour 1 to 1 ¼ cups water. If using fresh peas, boil them until tender in a pot, drain and use. If using frozen peas then you can rinse and use. 

Mix well to make a thick gravy. Add more water if needed.

Mix and cook covered on a medium heat until the gravy thickens and traces of oil appear over the gravy.

Crush 1 teaspoon kasuri methi in your palm &amp; sprinkle all over. Mix well. 

Check salt and add more if needed. Add 1 slit green chilli &amp; 250 grams cubed paneer. 

Cover and cook just for 2 mins. Sprinkle coriander leaves and cream.

Instant Pot Paneer Indian Soft Cheese Recipe Type : Main Cuisine: Indian Author: Urvashi Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 10 mins Total time: 20 mins Serves: 6 oz

Instant Pot Paneer Indian Soft Cheese

White Vinegar

Pour half and half and vinegar into the Instant pot and cook at low pressure for 4 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure.

When you open the pot, the milk will have separated into curds and a watery whey. Stir this well.

Pour the mixture through cheesecloth (saving the whey for other uses).

Gather up the cheesecloth and put a heavy weight on it to let the whey drain and for the paneer to form a cohesive block or ball.

I used this handy dandy tofu maker to form a nice square block and weighted it down with a can of beans to help the whey drain. This will take about 1-2 hours.
