Taking a leaf out of The Palladian Traveler’s Blog, I thought I’d show one of my favourite meals from above, namely my Muttar Paneer Special (which means I’ve added red peppers to a Muttar Panneer recipe to add some contrasting colour!)…

That is my Dad’s favorite too. 🙂 Even I like it..
-
I think it is a popular dish – and every Indian Mother has her own version (or so I’m told) 😉 Certinly my neighbour Madhu cooks it differently to me 🙂
-
The amount of liquid in it varies, mostly. Rest is the same. 🙂

Oooh, this looks really good. I’ve never heard of Muttar Panneer before.
-
You should be able to find many different variations on what is a fairly standard Indian recipe. It’s easy to cook, taking around 30-45 minutes.
-
I’ll investigate. Thanks. 🙂

There are many different variations Christine, so you may have to try a couple to find one you like.

Yum! This is a lovely picture. I can “taste” it through my eyes. Thanks for the inspiration for tonight’s dinner.

LoL – hope you’ve got the necessary ingredients 😉 Thanks for popping by

Now I’m really hungry…!
Is that tofu with the peas? *aww*
Thanks for posting..mine dwelt on food, too. 😀

Hi Magdelene – No, it’s an Indian cheese called Paneer which cooks without melting. Blame Tom – The Palladian Traveler – for this post, I was inspired by his food from above shots 🙂 I have done a previous post on the subject without any food 😉
-
Sorry about that, I’m a sucker for tofu since I’m pescetarian…LOL…I haven’t tried Indian cheese, very interesting. I might look that up in an Indian deli/store. What does it taste like?
-
It has a very mild flavour and I suspect that the main reason for it being cooked in dishes is to provide protein for Vegetarian Hindhu people. The key is to get it lightly browned on a couple of sides early in the cooking process – everything in this dish is fried in sunflower oil though I suspect that very traditional versions would use Ghee. I guess you could substitute Tofu blocks as long as you were really maxing-out the spices and I’d certainly recommend putting in a large fistful of fenugreek leaves to up the aroma!
-
So, the cheese is fried…much like we do with the local white cheese. The fenugreek leaves will be difficult to find, though.
-
Yes – but not deep fried – small amount of oil and the onions, garlic and spices go in there too. You’ll probably be best looking for the dried version of Fenugreek leaves. At a pinch, Fenugreek seed instead but you won’t get the same aroma.
-
Maybe arugula…heheehe…
-
I somehow think that Rocket is best kept for Italian dishes… 😉 But who knows… Maybe a new variation of Muttar Paneer looms 🙂
-
Arugula lasagna would be more like it, *sigh*.
-
Our Budgies like it 🙂 I suspect that trying your local cheese would be an interesting variation and you don’t have to have Fenugreek – check out the many recipes on the internet and see which ones have ingredients available to you 🙂

Looks totally delicious, Martin!
-
It is Kate – though that rests entirely upon your choice of spices in the sauce (which is where the multitude of variations on this dish comes in 😉
nice fork design!
-
LoL – A freebie from Force Cereals when I was a child! They’ve lasted better than a lot of more expensive cutlery! Sharp eyes Frizz 🙂 For info – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_%28cereal%29
I don’t know if I’ve tried something like this before… but it looks wonderful, Martin!
Something tells me you would have had to use a much faster shutter speed had I been able to get my hands on that plate!
🙂
-
It’s All a blur Bob 😉
oh yum – and what a funky fork! thanks for sharing.
-
LoL – That fork was a freebie from Force Cereals when I was a child! They’ve lasted better than a lot of more expensive cutlery! – Still in daily use over 40 years later along with the knives and spoons that came with them.
It looks absolutely delicious (the red peppers!) — but fact is I don’t think I’ve ever tasted that particular dish. Will have to remedy that —
-
Most Indian Restaurants will have a version of it Judith – (but not with peppers).
That looks really delicious. Happy Mother’s Day to your wife.
-
Thank you! I shall pass your good wishes on (though Mothers Day was some weeks ago in England!) A very happy Mothers Day to your Good Lady 🙂
