Paneer chopped in cubes
Onion finely chopped
Green peas

(Garlic paste optional. I didn't use it)

Procedure:
  1. Heat oil in a pan.Add mustard seeds,cumin seeds,turmeric. Add cinnamon,cloves. ( If you don't have whole cinnamon,sprinkle some Cinnamon powder )
  2. Add chopped onion and stir well. Once onion is well cooked add Tomato sauce.
  3. Stir well.
  4. Add red chilli paste and give a good stir.
  5. Add Green peas and stir well.Let it cook well for 2-5 minutes.
  6. Add cubed Paneer and toss the pan in order to apply gravy to paneer cubes properly. I said toss instead stir is because that wouldn't disturb shape of soft paneer :)
  7. Add salt to taste.Mix well.
  8. Garnish with chopped coriander or salad cress.
An easy way to enjoy delicacy like Mutter-Paneer :)
