Paneer Matar Ki Sabzi (cottage Cheese And Peas Curry)
A simple weekday after work dish. This is a great recipe when you are expecting guests on a weekday and you have nothing but frozen peas and Paneer. My mother used to make it regularly when I was a kid, but of course she used fresh Paneer and fresh green Mattar.
