Matar Paneer

#ws1 #cookpadindia A lovely looking nutritious and delicious side dish made in our Country with Cottage Cheese and Green Peas. It is a yummy dish relished with both Rice and Rotis. It tastes awesome with Pulao. In this particular one, I have used only Fresh Cream and have not used Cashewnuts.
