Matar Paneer

Cottage cheese and peas curry is a delicious, nutritious dish that you can eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This dish is so simple to make and tastes like you spent hours making it.

The cottage cheese adds a creamy texture to the curry, and the peas add an earthy flavor. The peanuts give it a nice crunch, while the coriander seeds lend their distinctive flavor to the dish. The whole dry red chillies will give your mouth a little tingle at first contact, but they won't hurt your stomach if eaten in moderation! Finally, tomatoes and onions add sweetness to this curry while green chillies give it some heat on top of everything else.

This curry will go with all kinds of dishes from rice to naan bread. You can also make this recipe vegan by substituting tofu for the cottage cheese or paneer if you prefer!
