Mutter Paneer / peas and cheese
When ever we go to a restaurant we make sure to order atleast one paneer dish and I guess mutter paneer is the most frequently ordered one as it is our family's favorite. Mutter Paneer is a delicious curry made of peas and home made cheese .Almost everyone would have tried making this dish and each one gets a different taste. I am posting my way of making this recipe.

Procedure:
Boil the onion with little turmeric powder and blend to a fine paste and set aside. Make a fine paste out of tomato and keep aside too. Heat oil in a pan and saute ginger garlic paste. After few mins add the onion paste and saute well. Add all the powders and fry for 2 mins. Next add the tomato paste and stir continuously till the oil begins to separate from the masala.
