Mutter Paneer Recipe / Matar Paneer Recipe Restaurant Style with step by step pics. It is a yummy combo of matar/green peas and paneer/cottage cheese, cooked in an onion- tomato based gravy, seasoned with Indian spices. I used Homemade Paneer, Garam Masala Powder and Frozen peas, so the taste was very exotic and delicious. If you want a restaurant touch in the gravy, you can add fresh cream, milk instead of water and honey instead of sugar with little drops of lemon juice at last. For a Dhaba Style, increase the chilli powder and green chilli to make it spicier. Always it is an evergreen combo with Chapati, Phulka, Jeera Rice and even with Veg Pulao (Do click the highlighted words for the recipe link).

Well dear friends, wishing you all a great week ahead...Let our week be colourful,rich and spicy like a navaratan korma...
To be honest I was not a huge fan of vegetables when I was a kid said "no""no" to chilli.
But this is a great dish and I loved it. It has all my enemy vegies same time it is rich with coconut cream, sweet raisins, cashew and the gravy..yummy yummy.
If you want to avoid ghee, cream,paneer and the dry nuts you are going to get a low fat curry..:P.
Normally i tend to post a finished curry snap, but after looking at the rich colours I thought why cant I give it a go for ingredients this time. That is why my shot is like this...

Chef's Insider Tip:
To keep your pudding from turning into a clumpy mess, give it a couple of good stirs within the first 10 minutes. Like it extra creamy? Toss it in a blender before chilling for that silky-smooth texture. If it thickens a little too much by morning, a splash of almond milk will bring it back to perfection.

I have to repost this recipe every now and then so that folks don't lose it.
“Hawaiian Punch Pie”
NOTE: There are two things you should know about this recipe
1. It is ridiculously easy! No baking, no cooking, and hardly any effort at all!
2. SUPER-SWEET SUGAR COMA! This pie is SWEET! S-W-E-E-T!
A little history on this super-yummy pie before I give you the recipe: when I was a teenager I went to a friend’s house and his mother presented me with a slice of this pie. I have a super sweet-tooth and I have never encountered any dessert that’s too rich for me; most are not sweet enough, and I was delighted to taste this pie because it was sweet, and oh so good! I got the recipe from her, and I’ve made it ever since. (Jesus! That means I’ve been making this pie for about 50 years now! Lord, I’m getting old! LOL)
She called it “Hawaiian Punch Pie,” because it was made with Hawaiian Punch. Now I don’t know if this was her own recipe, or if she got it from somebody else, or if Hawaiian Punch provided it way back then...I have no clue as to the provenance of this tasty treat, and if you Google “Hawaiian Punch Pie” now you will not find anything resembling the following recipe.
The key is a can of frozen juice concentrate. It doesn’t have to be Hawaiian Punch, although that makes a tasty pie. I just used a can of Minute Maid raspberry lemonade frozen juice concentrate and that is to die for! You could use lime, or peach, or any other flavor frozen juice concentrate. Experiment.
The following recipe makes 2 pies.
You will need:
1 – bowl large enough to mix all of the ingredients in and allow sufficient room for blending, folding, and vigorous stirring.
1 – small rubber spatula.
2 – premade 6 ounce graham cracker crusts, such as Keebler’s Ready Crust. These will come in a foil pie tin with a plastic cover. I prefer the plain graham cracker crust, but chocolate is also available. You could make your own, but why? This is an easy recipe, remember?
1 – 14 ounce can of Eagle Brand milk.
1 – 8 ounce container of Cool Whip – thawed.
1 – 12 ounce can of frozen juice concentrate – thawed.
-----
Remove the plastic covers from the pie shells.
Using the rubber spatula to help you thoroughly remove the ingredients from their cans dump the whole can of Eagle Brand milk, the entire 8 ounce container of Cool Whip and the entire can of juice concentrate, undiluted, (do NOT add water to the juice concentrate!) into the bowl.
Using the same rubber spatula fold and blend the ingredients together enough so that you can begin to stir them to mix thoroughly. Stir vigorously...you want the ingredients to be very, very thoroughly mixed or else the pie tends to weep when you cut it.
Keep stirring until the ingredients are totally and completely mixed...you should have a mixture that is by now all one pale color, that color being a pale tint of whatever juice concentrate you’ve selected. If you can see even a streak of the Eagle Brand Milk, or the Cool Whip, stir some more!
Pour the mixture evenly into each of the 2 pie shells, using the same rubber spatula to completely remove the pie mixture from the bowl.
Cover each pie with the plastic cover and refrigerate for at least two hours. I guess you could freeze them, too, but I don’t like them frozen. Experiment if you like.
The pies will not be firmly set, even when refrigerated for a couple of days. That’s part of the appeal. They are so smooth and creamy...and SWEET! Did I mention, “SWEET?!”
There it is. Super easy and simple and very, very good!
