Learn how to make Indian curry with green peas and cottage cheese. For the final day of making North Side dishes, I have the favorite Matar Paneer in yet another form. I know I have enough versions still I couldn’t resist making this.
I got this post done in a great hurry, my internet connection failed and I didn’t have anything done. I had to get to Amma’s place to do this post. So can’t write much. Just enjoy this post for now!

Very catchy mattar paneer, hard to resist to this lipsmacking gravy.
I stick to the basic version, never tried adding cashews to the curry. The cashews lend a richness to the gravy.
Love the color of the gravy. Like your new version of matar paneer.0
