Matar Paneer Masala

Matar Paneer Masala is a spice blend used to flavor a popular North Indian dish called Matar Paneer. Matar Paneer is a vegetarian dish made with peas and paneer (cottage cheese) cooked in a rich tomato-based gravy, flavored with a variety of aromatic spices.

The recipe for Matar Paneer Masala can vary depending on the region and personal preferences. However, some common ingredients include:

Cumin seeds
Coriander seeds
Red chili powder
Turmeric powder
Garam masala powder
Amchur (dried mango powder)
Salt
To make Matar Paneer Masala, the spices are dry roasted until fragrant and then ground into a fine powder. This spice mix is then added to the tomato-based gravy along with other ingredients such as onion, garlic, ginger, and cashew nuts to give it a creamy texture and richness.

Matar Paneer Masala adds a mix of warm, earthy, and slightly spicy notes to the dish, with a hint of tanginess from the amchur powder.

The spice mix can be stored in an airtight container and used whenever required to add flavor to Matar Paneer or other North Indian dishes.
