Mattar Paneer - Indian Peas with Paneer Cheese image

I always like this as a side dish, although it can be served as a vegetarian main dish. I generally like to make several types of things when I cook Indian and I usually will cook this or palak paneer along with the others.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This dish was a disappointment. The paneer was tough and the peas were bland. I won't be making this again.

I'm giving this recipe 4 stars because it was easy to make and it turned out pretty good. However, I think it could have used a bit more flavor.

I'm not a big fan of paneer, but I really enjoyed this dish. The peas and sauce were so flavorful that I didn't even miss the meat.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very flavorful. I think next time I'll use less chili peppers.

I love mattar paneer! It's so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add a little bit of garam masala to give it a bit of a kick.
