This creamy paneer curry made with peas is incredibly delicious. You can enjoy it with roti, naan, or rice—it tastes great with any of them. Paneer made from milk contains omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin K2, which are important nutrients. Paneer is also high in protein and an excellent source of calcium.

Steps

20 minutes

1

First, prepare all the ingredients. Cut the paneer into small cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan and lightly fry the paneer cubes until golden. Set aside.
2

In the same pan, add 3 tablespoons oil after removing the paneer. Sauté the onions until browned, then add all the spices, cashews, and almonds. Sauté everything well, then add the tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes. Once the spices are well cooked, set the mixture aside to cool.
3

Once the mixture has cooled, transfer it to a blender jar and grind into a smooth paste. If you like, add 1 tablespoon oil to the same pan and lightly sauté the green peas. Then add the ground spice paste and cook for another 4 minutes.
4

When the peas are cooked through in the masala, add the fried paneer cubes. Cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Your creamy paneer matar curry is now ready to serve.
