Matar paneer recipe with detailed steps and video is shared on the blog which is in shahi style commonly made all across north India mainly a Punjabi dish. I made this recipe with rich onion tomato and cashew nut gravy with matar and paneer as the main ingredients and is purely a veg recipe commonly eaten with naan, chapati or any flat bread.

Other Indian veg recipes on the blog are:

  • palak sabzi
  • aloo baingan curry
shahi matar paneer or paneer mutter masala

Matar and paneer are two ingredients which are mostly used all across north india for most of the veg dishes made there.

Paneer is added which gives a different and rich taste to the curry and is a healthy ingredient which is full of proteins.

I have made many basic veg curries but shahi matar paneer has become my all time favorite after making and tasting this recipe.

I was amazed with the outcome as it turned out to be a restaurant style taste.

I always try to bring out restaurant flavors in my recipes which can be easily made at home if we are familiar with the ingredients and the method made in hotels.

I have started liking north indian cuisine as I started making north indian and punjabi dishes. I would like to bring in every Indian recipe including veg and non veg as I keep updating.

They are many more north indian recipes that I would like to update on the blog for my blog readers.

Here, the shahi paneer is made in onion tomato gravy and making the gravy rich by adding cashewnut paste and enhancing the flavors and fragrance by adding crushed kasuri methi.

Here in the recipe I have not used frozen peas, instead I have added fresh matar and pressure cooked the gravy to soften the matar.

Below are the recipe details on how to make shadi wala shahi paneer curry with step by step details and video.

Notes

1. Instead of using mutter and paneer, any other veg ingredients too can be added in the same gravy and pressure cooked.
2. If cream is available, one can even make it even more rich by garnishing the curry with fresh cream.
3. I have used cashewnut paste to make the gravy rich and it can also be replaced with fresh cream.
