Aloo Mattar Paneer is the best recipe to serve in lunch or dinner. You can make different servings based on roti and rice. People love to have it with homemade chapati, roti, and paratha. Tandoori roti is also the best combination.
My family personally loves it with steamed rice. My mother used to serve it with rice especially at lunchtime but we prefer to have it with roti at dinner. It's a perfect meal as it contains vegetables and cheese. Full of nutrition and multivitamins. Best for the kids as they love it because paneer tempts them.
