PEAS CHEEGE




PEAS CHEEGE

Ingredients:
Milk 4 cups
Green peas 400 grams
Lemon 1
Ghee as needed
Onions 2 large
Ginger 1 inch piece
Turmeric powder 1/4 teaspoon
Red chilli powder 1 teaspoon
Coriander powder 1 teaspoon
Garam masala powder 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Method:

Boil milk twice on high heat and add juice of one lemon.
The whey will separate from paneer.
Drain the whey, tie up paneer in a muslin cloth and hang it up all day to allow excess water to drain away.
Place the muslin with the paneer under a heavy weight to ensure that all the moisture is squeezed out.
This will flatten the paneer into a flat round cake when removed from the muslin.
Cut the paneer into strips or cubes.
Heat sufficient ghee in a kadai and deep-fry till light brown.
Drain onto an absorbent paper.
Peel, wash and chop onions and ginger finely.
Heat two tablespoons ghee in a pan and add chopped onions and ginger.
Sauté till lightly browned. Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, salt and peas and cook, adding a little water, till the peas are tender and a little gravy remains.
Add the fried paneer, garam masala powder and boil for five minutes.
Serve hot.
