Cottage Cheese and Peas (Matar Paneer Burjee)


So this recipe has been handed down by my mother to me, its an absolutely delicious recipe for all the Veggie lovers out there.
It serves 6 normal eaters but if ur like me then well only 4 alrite fine 3 people, calories per serving is around 119 calories. You will need
  • 1 Lb of Cottage cheese/Paneer roughly crumbled
  • 1 large onion - finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 1/2 cup shelled peas
  • 1 tablespoon of salt, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon of red chilli powder (You can always add more)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala
  • 4 tbsp of tomato puree or 1 tomatoe finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp of fenugreek leaves (dry)

Method to madness

  • Add chopped onions to the milk in a pan on low flame, add peas cook till the milk almost dries, the onions and peas should cook till then too
  • Add the cottage cheese, salt, chilli powder and garam masala
  • Add the tomato puree/tomatoes and the dry fenugreek leaves
  • Cook for 5 minutes on low flame and serve hot with some fenugreek leaves on top as garnishing and some butter (makes everything taste better)
