Matar Paneer Pulao- a delicious and easy to make fresh pea and cottage cheese rice

Matar paneer is a very classic combination and many delicious curries , snacks and rice preparations are made with this combination. I love making different variety of rice for lunch and to pack in lunch boxes. These type of rice preparations needs just some yogurt and salad to make a comforting meal.

Making this pulao is very easy and quick. You don’t need many ingredients so no need to chop the veggies. Do try to use good quality fresh paneer and fresh or good frozen peas for making this pulao. Some times frozen peas do have some strange smell so I always either blanch them in boiling water or wash with hot water.

Addition of nuts is optional abut make it nice and rich. Serve this matar paneer pulao with tadke wala boondi raita and some fresh salad of your choice.
