[...] once you cook with it and taste it in say, muttar paneer–you will be spoiled forever. I mean it. For real. [...]

Jill thank you for letting me know how your mattar paneer came out! I am glad it was good, and I hope you make it more often now that it isn’t so mysterious.

I had a cat who loved frozen peas.

While they were still frozen and crunchy, no less. Weird cat.

I made Barbara’s muttar paneer tonight – cheese and all – after having this at my colleague’s house a month ago. She tried to explain how to make it but I guess because I am not from India originally I could not figure out what she was telling me. This one, I have to say, was just about as good as Rani’s. And that was GOOD. BTW the only beings that seem to like canned peas in my house are my cats, interestingly enough. I cannot explain that one… but it is scary. Barbara, THANK YOU.

Val–I hope the mattar paneer recipe works for you. When you make it, come back and let me know what you think.

Good luck!

And I am so with you on the canned peas thing. Ick.

I’ve never understood how someone could murder something so wonderful as a pea, fresh from the hull, by cooking it to death in a can! Since I discovered the little guys FROZEN, however, they have become my favorite (partially) cooked veggie of all time! Several years ago, I was taken, quite reluctantly, to an Indian restaurant. Being an Iowa farm girl, I had no idea what most of the ingredients were, let alone how all these weird things would taste together…
Then I saw the description of Mattar Paneer and thought “Peas,creamy tomato sauce and cheese – that can’t be bad!”
Needless to say, I was hooked for life! Unfortunatly, my husband would rather starve to death than to even cast a shadow on the door of anything other than Cracker Barrel, so I rarely get the stuff these days. Last week,my husband had knee surgery near enough to India Garden that I could sneak away for my fix. (I know, what kind of a wife would do that!!!)
I was DESPARATE! Anyway, tonight I realized that somewhere on this big web, there had to be a recipe for the stuff, so I could make it whenever I want, JUST FOR ME!!! I found several, but I’m going to try this one, it sounds great! Thank you so much for this interesting website!
