Not your Ma-maw’s “peas and cheese”!
Mater Paneer is a popular Northern Indian delight. This protein-rich dish is loaded with cubes of whole milk paneer and peas in a spicy gravy made with caramelized onion masala and bright Indian spices.
The Mater Paneer is paired with another North Indian favorite, a cup of Dal Makhani which is a rich, smokey dal made with black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans, slow cooked with tomato, onions, ginger, garlic and ghee. It is usually served topped with heavy cream. Truly the most decadent of dals!
Enjoy this dinner served over cumin-spiced Basmati and a side of seasonal raita and whole wheat roti.
