Happy Halloween eve, Karma Eats friends!
It has not felt like Halloween weekend at all – there were two days of what felt like fall last weekend, and now we are back to the usual heat and humidity. Also, since I am in yoga teacher training for the next couple of months and have no social life during these weekends, I was having a little FOMO when I saw everyone’s Halloween costumes from various Halloween parties this weekend!
The good news is, I’ll be dressing up for our work Halloween costume contest tomorrow…pictures to follow (probably on Instagram – @karmaeats).
Because my weekends are now booked with the training, I’ve been relying on my quick one-pot meals more than ever. This is one that I made recently, and a couple of coworkers asked for the recipe as I was heating it up for lunch! I was almost embarrassed to share the recipe with them and I certainly was not planning on posting it since it is THAT simple. But since the recipe was in demand, I thought, why not?
Note: This recipe is completely my own random creation and may or may not be similar to a typical paneer matar recipe.
Paneer Matar (Paneer with Peas)
Ingredients:
- 1 can (12 oz) of diced tomatoes
- 1/2 bag of frozen peas 1/2 bag
- 1/2 block of paneer, cubed
- ½ tbsp chopped garlic
- ½ tbsp chopped ginger
- 1 tbsp clarified butter (or real butter, or oil)
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- Salt/pepper to taste
Directions:
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and saute for a minute. Add the tomatoes, peas, and paneer. Season with the remaining spices and allow the mixture to boil for 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently. Serve with rice.
