Matar paneer is the definition of a party dish. It’s the sort of thing that you can serve to anyone—it looks really pretty and is always a crowd-pleaser . And it takes a *tiny* bit more effort than your standard Indian one-pan sabzi, which means you’ll usually only pull it out when you want to impress a crowd. Typically, the paneer in matar paneer is deep-fried. But as my mom discovered, deep-frying at home sucks, and the dish ends up tasting a lot more balanced and not overly rich when the paneer is simply simmered in the pan with all the other ingredients.

This matar paneer is filled with three different types of peas  and is cooked with a fresh and lightly spiced tomato sauce. A perfect spring meal!

Fresh Matar Paneer

Matar Paneer  is a north Indian restaurant-style dish of green peas in a spicy, beautifully flavored tomato onion sauce. My vegan recipe uses tofu to stand in for the paneer, making this a healthier and tastier version all at once. This is a gluten-free and nut-free recipe.

Homemade Matar Paneer 

Freshly made paneer cheese and sweet peas add delicious textural and flavor contrasts to a rich curry sauce. 

Yum! One of my kids' favorite Indian dishes that goes well served with rice or naan bread.

Vegetarian Matar Paneer

Matar Paneer is one of the most popular North Indian paneer dishes. It is a simple preparation which can be made with the easily available, everyday ingredients in your kitchen. Be it a simple weekday lunch or a fancy dinner party, a well-made Matar Paneer is always a delight! For a truly authentic and seasonal experience, make your Matar Paneer with freshly peeled peas during the winters. To add a twist, instead of using chopped paneer, you can add grated paneer to the gravy and top it with a tablespoon of cream, for a fabulous Malai Matar Twist!
