Sometimes nothing beats the classic dishes that simply are amazing just being their authentic self! While a lot of curries and Indian dishes can be altered or modernized, I think a good hearty Paneer curry just needs to be itself.
Always a favourite at our place..here it is my version of the humble MUTTER PANEER:
Ingredients: About 250 grams of Paneer (cottage cheese) chopped into small cubes, 1 cup of green peas, 2-3 ripe tomatoes chopped, 1 onion chopped, 1 tablespoon giner-garlic paste, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1 tablespoon oil (use butter/ghee if preferred), chopped coriander, chilli as desired, salt to taste.
Make: In a heavy bottom pan, saute in oil, the onion, chilli, cumin seeds, garam masala and ginger-garlic paste then add the tomatoes. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes. Cool slightly and grind in a mixer to form a paste. In another pan, put in a small amount oil and pan-fry the paneer cubes and peas slightly then add in the tomato paste made as above. Add salt and cook covered for about 8 minutes. If consistency is too thick, add a bit of water or if it is too runny, add some almond or cashew powder. Once ready, sprinkle chopped coriander and serve hot with roti or rice. Enjoy!
