We all are different human being that’s why the way of thinking are also different than other. While cooking all of us use some of our own technics. Like a simple dal becomes diffrent with the use of diffrent spices, like few peole add Cumin Seeds and few people add Radhuni. Same way Matar Paneer has so many different recipes. But the name is same.
Today I prepared Matar Paneer but recipe courtesy Sonali Bhattacharya. I am really blessed with such good friends who all are marvelous cooks. I used to cook Matar Paneer in some different way but after seeing her recipe I can’t stop myself to cook like her. What can I say about the recipe it’s heavenly with Paratha.
But this time I used my home made paneer. Usually I purchased from shop but this time I made it at home. May be its not perfect in shape but the taste is really good.
