Experience our authentic Matar Paneer, a signature vegetarian dish at Chef's Butter Chicken. Featuring fresh paneer cheese and green peas in a rich, aromatic gravy made with authentic Indian spices. This comforting dish showcases our commitment to fresh ingredients and traditional Indian cooking techniques.
Matar Paneer (Paneer with Green Peas) is a classic North Indian vegetarian dish that combines the rich, creamy texture of fresh paneer cheese with the sweet, fresh flavor of green peas. At Chef's Butter Chicken, we prepare this dish with the finest ingredients, starting with fresh, homemade paneer that's soft and creamy, paired with tender green peas that add a delightful sweetness to the dish.
What makes our Matar Paneer special is the perfectly balanced gravy that brings all the elements together. We create a rich, aromatic base using onions, tomatoes, ginger-garlic paste, and a carefully selected blend of spices including garam masala, cumin, turmeric, and red chili powder. The gravy is simmered until it reaches the perfect consistency - not too thick, not too thin - allowing the paneer to absorb the flavors while maintaining its soft texture. We serve our Matar Paneer with basmati rice or freshly baked naan, making it a satisfying vegetarian main course that appeals to everyone.
