Matar Paneer is a popular North Indian curry dish made of paneer (cottage cheese) and green peas in a creamy, richly spiced tomato-based sauce.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add ginger garlic paste and cook for a few minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add tomatoes, turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until oil separates from the sauce.
Add green peas, water, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Lower the heat and add paneer cubes. Cook for 5-7 minutes.
Stir in garam masala and cream, and simmer for another minute.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
