matar paneer is a popular recipe from north india and is a delicious combination of soft paneer and healthy green peas.
this simple matar paneer is prepared in an onion tomato gravy flavoured with spices. cashew nut paste is added to give it a thick creamy texture.
i usually shallow fry the paneer cubes till light golden as it gives a subtle taste to the gravy.
