Topic: Matar Paneer and a potato dish

[Robbo141]

With the onion masala I made this dish with some lovely locally made paneer.

Because I diluted my onion masala, it turned out a lot more liquidy than I’d have liked, so next time I’ll omit the water or maybe just not dilute the onion masala.  The paneer dish only used half of the onion masala but was so tasty I decided to use the same spice mix to make a potato curry for breakfast.

Peel 3 medium potatoes and cut into 2” pieces
Heat 1 TBSP ghee and 1 TBSP mustard oil in pan.  Fry potatoes about 5 mins just to get them golden.  Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, cook 30 secs
Add 1 Serrano chili, chopped, fry 1 min
Add a splash of onion masala
Add spices:
1 TBSP kasuri methi
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp Kashmiri chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp turmeric

Fry spices, adding a little onion masala at a time while stirring, till all the masala is in - 3/4 cup total.
Add 1 cup frozen peas.
Put the potatoes back in the pan, add some boiling water, cover and cook till the potatoes are done. Stir occasionally. Garnish with fresh coriander.




There’s nothing earth shattering here, but I’m going to stick with this spice mix and try it on chicken next.

Looks really nice Robbo.  Haven't had paneer for a long time.  Reckon I'll get some bought in.
