Mattar Paneer

Posted by EsyRecipes Sunday, December 20, 2009


Discription: Paneer is a firm, very fresh cow’s milk cheese that is usually made at home by heating whole milk and then treating it with a weak acid, such as lemon or lime juice to get it to coagulate. Once the curds form, they are poured through cheesecloth, the whey is squeezed out, and it is left to drain overnight. A weight can be left on it to press it into shape, and to facilitate the removal of most of the whey.
Ingredients:
  • 5 large cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
  •  1 2″ cube fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
  • 1 red Thai bird chile
  •  1/2 teaspoon aleppo pepper flakes (aleppo is a mild chile from Turkey–optional–I get it from Penzey’s)
  •  1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom seeds 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 10 cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  •  2 tablespoons butter
  •  8 ounces paneer cheese cut into 1/2″ cubes
  •  1 14 ounce can crushed Muir Glen Fire Roasted Tomatoes
  •  1/2 cup milk
  •  salt to taste
  •  3/4 cup heavy cream
  •  2 cups frozen peas, thawed
  •  large handful fresh mint leaves, chopped roughly
    How to make:
    • Grind together the garlic, ginger and spices into a thick paste.
    • Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed skillet, and when it foams, add paneer.
    • Add spice paste and cook, stirring, until the spices are very fragrant and the paneer is beginning to brown.
    • Turn the paneer, and keep stirring. Add the tomatoes adn milk, and stir.
    • Turn down the heat and simmer for about ten minutes.
    • Add the heavy cream and salt to taste.
    • Add the peas, and turn heat down to very low and simmer slowly for about an hour or so.
    • After it has cooked for an hour, put a lid on the pan, turn off the heat and let it sit for another hour or so When you are ready to serve, reheat the curry to a simmer, adding a bit more milk or cream as necessary to keep it from reducing too much.
    • Just before serving, stir in mint leaves.
    • Not surprisingly, this is even better heated up the next day.
    • You may have to add more milk to the sauce to think it out so it will reheat properly.

        Posted by EsyRecipes Saturday, November 7, 2009


        Discription:Palak Paneer is a delicious, hearty North Indian dish prepared with spinach and Indian cheese. This traditional greens based vegetarian dish is a rich, smooth, creamy curry where paneer cubes are cooked in a onion-tomato-spinach based gravy which is moderately spiced with Indian spices.
        Ingredients:
        • 250 gms paneer (cubed and lightly fried till brown in a tsp of ghee)
        • 3 big bunches spinach (discard the coarse stems) – blanch in hot water for 2 mts and make a paste and keep aside
        • 1 ½-2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
        • 1 tsp cumin seeds
        • 2 onions finely chopped
        • 2 green chillis slit length wise
        • 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
        • 1 tsp red chilli pwd
        • 1 tbsp coriander pwd
        • 2 big juicy tomatoes (blanched in hot water, peeled and pureed)
        • 1 cup water (use the water in which spinach was blanched)
        • salt to taste
        • ½ tsp garam masala pwd (make a pwd of 2 cloves, 1 cardamom and 1” cinnamon stick)
        • 1 tbsp malai (top of milk)
        • ¼ tsp kasuri methi (optional) 
        How to make:
        •  Add ghee in a heavy bottomed vessel and add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add the onions and green chillis sauté them till light brown. Don’t burn them.
        •  Add ginger garlic paste and fry further for 3 minutes. Add red chilli pwd and coriander pwd and combine well.
        •  Add the tomato paste and let it cook for 5-6 mts on medium heat. Add the palak paste and let it cook further for another 4-5 mts.
        •  Add the fried paneer cubes and combine. Cook covered on low heat for 3 mts. Add the palak water and salt and cook on medium heat for 10-12 mts.
        •  Add malai, garam masala pwd and kasuri methi and mix well.
        •  Reduce flame, cover and cook for 2 mts.
        •  Serve hot with rotis or white steamed rice or rotis.

          Note:
        You could also add paneer directly (without frying in ghee) to the cooked spinach. Another variation you could do with the spinach is coarsely chop the spinach and stir fry in a little ghee instead of pureeing it and add it ( instead of the palak paste). But to get the creamy consistency, you have to blanch and puree the palak.
