This easy paneer gravy is a mouthwatering side dish made with paneer cooked in a rich gravy prepared with  onions, tomatoes and other spices. It's mild and not very spicy, which tastes so good with chapathi, nann, roti and pulao.  Paneer gravies can be made in a variety of ways. This recipe is the easy version of paneer butter masala. Most of the time we prepare paneer gravy with fresh cream, butter and cashew nuts. To make a tasty paneer masala, you do not need fresh cream. You can easily make restaurant style paneer gravy with easily available ingredients in your kitchen. I always like to add a few cashew nuts while making gravies, which gives a creamy consistency. The addition of dried kasuri methi leaves gives a unique flavour for paneer based gravies. I used homemade garamasala powder for gravies which does not include red chillies or pepper in it. Add garamasala powder to your personal taste preferences.Now let's see how to prepare this easy paneer gravy with step by ste...

Matar Paneer Gravy  recipe with full video and step by step pictures. Easy and yummy gravy pairs well with jeera rice, roti, poori, nann and dosa. When I was in 12th standard I cooked this gravy  for the first time on my own by following Chef. Mallika Badrinath's recipe instructions. My sister loved it and she told it tasted closer to the restaurant style gravies. Since green peas are in season now, I decided to post this recipe along with the video. Usually for gravies we cook the green peas separately in a vessel and then we add it to the masala. Today I chose to prepare the gravy in the pressure cooker, as I want to cook the green peas to blend well with the gravy. I used store bought paneer for making this matar paneer gravy. You can use homemade paneer also or you can replace paneer with other vegetables like potato, cauliflower or soya chunks.  Check out my other Gravy Recipes Paneer Butter Masala   Paneer Methi Masala Shahi Gobi Masala Broccoli Masala Raj...
