This is one of my favorites. In India, this is called Mattar Paneer, and it's widely eaten. It's a refreshing summery curry that is easy to make.

You can use cashew nuts instead of paneer. If you do, chop it up finely and add it at Step 5. It will make the curry very rich. For 3 servings. Recipe by Plabar
