Directions
Mattar Paneer,This was one of the first dishes I cooked for my husband when I was newly married, and it’s the recipe I get most requested to make. I have managed to make it less fattening so we can eat it more often by successfully substituting the cream with fatfree half&half or even fatfree yoghurt sometimes (of course it won’t taste quite as good as it does with heavy cream). I always use my own homemade paneer in this, and I also roast and grind my own cumin and coriander to bring out the best flavors, but you don’t have to do that.,This was excellent. My hubby likes raw spinach but is not a fan of cooked spinach, so I was looking for something similar to Palak Paneer when I ran across this. It was soooo good.,Family favorite!!! This has become a staple in our home. I do add about 12-16oz crushed tomatoes, but otherwise I am true to this recipe! My in-laws are Indian and this gets their stamp of approval too!! -Autumn
