Mutter Paneer 2  
Mattar Panir 3  
by Kris Dhillon  
Ingredients:  
2 Onions  
2 Tomatoes  
This is a dish that is popular with vegetarians as it contains plenty of protein in the  
form of curd cheese cubes.  
Serves 2-3.  
4 cloves Garlic  
1/2 packet frozen Peas  
1" cube Ginger  
1/4 tsp Turmeric  
to taste Salt  
to taste Pepper  
1/2 tsp Garam Masala  
2 cups Water  
Preparation and cooking time: 40—45 minutes  
Ingredients:  
2 pints (1.15 litres) whole milk  
4 tablespoon lemon juice  
Oil for deep frying  
6 oz (175g) frozen peas  
4 tablespoon vegetable oil  
½ pint (275ml or two cups) curry sauce (page 20)  
1 level teaspoon salt  
½ teaspoon turmeric  
½ teaspoon ground coriander  
½ teaspoon chilli powder  
½ teaspoon garam masala  
1 tablespoon single cream (optional)

.
Bring the milk to the boil in a saucepan. Immediately add the lemon juice and  
stir until the milk appears to curdle. The solids should be visibly separated from  
the whey.

.
Strain though muslin or a clean tea towel. Place the curds, still in muslin, in a  
tray. Put something flat on it, such as a chopping board, and weigh it down with  
something heavy. A large saucepan full of water is ideal. Leave for about 15  
minutes. This squeezes all the liquid out of the curds.

When this is done, cut the fat slab of curds into approximately ½ inch (1cm)  
cubes, and deep fry in hot oil until golden on the outside. Drain.  
Rinse the frozen peas in hot water and drain. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan  
and fry the peas in it for about three minutes.  
Add the curry sauce and bring to a simmer. Stir in the salt, cummin, ground  
coriander, and chilli powder and simmer for ten minutes.
