Matar Paneer (Made with Tofu)
Oven time 50-55 min
Here is a healthy twist on an old favourite. Matar Paneer is a popular dish from North India, made with peas and paneer, which can be quite rich. We’ve used Tofu (soya paneer) instead of paneer which makes the dish dairy-free and also lighter in calorie and fat content, to a great alternative for those looking for healthier options. Enjoy it with soft chapattis made from our Chakki Gold atta.
