Paneer Matar Masala

Basically I am a non-vegetarian lover who loves to prepare and try new recipes with chicken and meat. But going for a vegetarian option I always prefer to make dishes using paneer. Paneer is readily available in all shops now. You can also prepare paneer at home by adding lime juice to the boiling milk, thereby curdling it and draining the excess water using a cloth.

Paneer can be used to prepare evening snack, curry and also can also be added to noodles and varieties of rice. Paneer is the main curry in my home during the season of lent as we avoid non-veg for a time being. We usually prepare Paneer Matar masala for dinner which goes well with chappathi , roti and rice. Here is a delicious recipe of paneer with mutter which was taught to me by my mom. The significance of this dish is that it has got a thick gravy, which is mouth watering. The smell of butter makes a temptation to finish off the plate within minutes. Being rich in protein, paneer is perfect for weight loss. It reduces your appetite, helps in burning your belly fat and changes the level of certain weight regulating hormones.
