How to Make Matar Paneer Recipe?

• Boil the fresh peas in boiling salted water for 10-15 minutes until they soften, then rinse them in cold water and keep them aside.
• Chop the garlic and ginger into small pieces. Chop the onion and tomatoes into small cubes.
• Heat a wide and deep pot over medium heat. Add all the spices, garlic, fresh ginger, onion and cashew nuts to the hot pan with oil and fry until the onions soften.
• When the onions soften, add the tomatoes and continue cooking until the tomatoes have a puree consistency.
• After the whole mixture softens, turn off the stove. Remove bay leaves and cardamom pods from the pot. Blend the remaining mixture until smooth.
