Traditional
Recipe for Matter Panir
(Peas
& Indian Cheese)
1 cup Ridgecrest Panir cheese, cut into bite size
cubes
2 cups peas
2 tbsp butter or margarine
1 large onion, finely minced
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp garam masala (from the Indian spice section of
grocery store)
˝ tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 tsp Hungarian paprika
˝ tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt or to taste
˝ cup tomatoes, finely chopped
2 cups of water, or to desired consistency
˝ tbsp fresh coriander, finely chopped
To prepare Panir, cut into bit sized pieces and
sauté in a little cooking oil on medium heat until
golden brown, as an alternative try broiling the
cubes in the oven and set aside. Fry minced
onion with butter until golden brown. Add turmeric,
garam masala, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Stir
constantly until butter separates from sauce, add a
little water if required, add garlic, tomatoes and
salt, continue to cook stirring until tomatoes are
soft, add the peas and cook until peas are half
cooked (about 6 minutes). Add panir cubes and water.
Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Serve
over rice or noodles, garnish with freshly chopped
cilantro, and add Nann (a leavened Indian flat
bread) as it makes a nice accompaniment to this
meal.
Serves
4 to 5 people. [
