How do you make Instant Pot Matar Paneer?
Traditionally Matar Paneer is made by sautéing the onion/tomato mixture for what feels like forever. But I’m lazy/efficient so I let the pressure cooker do all the work for me. It seems odd to just throw veggies in there and walk away–but welcome to cooking Urvashi style. For this recipe, you can either buy the paneer ready-made at Indian grocery stores where it is typically in the frozen section, or you can make it yourself using this very easy pressure cooker paneer recipe. At the grocery store, they sell the paneer either plain or fried. Honestly, they both taste good and I often can’t tell the difference once it has been incorporated into this Matar Paneer recipe, so I suggest you get either of them–or do what I do, which is to get one of each type. Just in case.Just in case what–that I don’t know. But I always get one each!
