Peas (Matar) and cottage cheese (paneer) are cooked in a tomato-based sauce that is seasoned with flavorful herbs and spices. While palak paneer is a favorite of ours, this meal is just as delicious.

Naan Bread
Tasty naan bread is enjoyed by all. The well-known Indian flatbread is incredibly buttery and soft. It tastes great on its own but it goes well with stews and curries.
While naan and chapati and roti (which are the same thing) are pretty similar, naan is a little fluffier and pillowier due to the yeast.
Aloo Paratha
Paratha is the name for flatbread in India. It’s a traditional Indian dish that’s often eaten in the morning, much like naan. Although the traditional parathas are great, potatoes make everything better. A potato-filled flatbread is called an aloo paratha. The potatoes are seasoned with coriander, ginger, and spices to give them a taste.
