Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Gravy dishes, Paneer Dishes
Mutter Paneer is one of the most famous gravy dish in north indian paneer gravies....nothing much to say about this dish as its known by most of you.You can make this dish by making slight changes according to your taste.Its basic ingredients are tomato and onion puree and spices can be adjusted to your choice.I had tried making a little different version of mutter paneer from my regular version and it turned out very good , so i am posting it here today.I had serve it with butter-garlic naans whose recipe i will be posting soon.I am very busy this days so i not able to do blog hopping , so sll good stuff is being missed by me.Some of my blogger friends had given lot of awards from past few weeks and i was not able to post them.Sorry for that and thanx a lot for presenting them to me.
INGREDIENTS:
- 250 grams paneer(cottage cheese)
- 11/4 cup fresh green peas(or frozen)
- 2 onions
- 2 tomatoes
- 1/2 cup cashewnuts
- 1 cup milk
- 4 kashmiri dry red chillis
- 1 tea spoon poppy seeds
- 4 cloves
- 4 pepper corns
- 1" cinnamon stick
- 7-8 garlic cloves
- 1" ginger piece
- 1/2 tea spoon turmeric powder
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tea spoon chilli powder(optional)
- 1/2 tea spoon cumin powder
- 1 tea spoon corainder powder
- 1/2 tea spoon garam masala
- 1/2 tea spoon amchur(dry mango powder)
- butter
- ghee
- salt
- oil
METHOD:
Soak cashew nuts, cloves, cinnamon, pepper corns and poppy seeds in 1/2 cup water for 2 hours.Then grind it with 2 raw onions, garlic cloves and ginger to a smooth paste using the water used for soaking the spices.
Blanch tomatoes in hot boiling water along with kashmiri red chills for 5-8 mins and then peel tomatoes and remove seeds and blend them into a smooth puree along with red chillis.Saute green peas in butter for 4-5 mins and keep aside.Cut the paneer in 1 inch cubes.
Heat 1 tea spoon ghee and 2 tea spoon oil in a pan and add bay leaf and after one min add the onion and spice paste.Saute it for 5-6 mins till the raw smell goes off.Then add tomato -chilli puree and cook for 2 more mins.Then add turmeric powder,salt, cumin powder, chilli powder,corainder powder and amchur powder and stir well.Then add sauted green peas and cook for 2 mins.Add milk and stir well.If gravy is very thick you can adjust the consistency by adding more milk or little water.
Add sugar and garam masala and mix well.Add diced panner cubes and close and cook for 4-5 mins.You can even saute the panner in butter before using or you can deep fry them.I have used them directly.Checkand adjust the spices if necessary and remove from flame.
Serve it hot with Naan or paratha.I served them with Butter Garlic Naan which i will post soon.
Preparation Time: 30 mins
