    Paneer Matar kabab  (Green Peas kebab) is delicious, crispy, nutty gluten free and nutritious Indian cottage cheese and green pea snack that will blow your mind. These kababs or tikkis are so easy, super quick and takes flat 20 minutes to assemble.

    Crisp Paneer Matar Kabab served in a traditional brass bowl with green chutney on the side.

    Here up on the blog today is my very favourite hari matar aur paneer ke kabab. Often I get confused whether what next should I be trying in my kitchen that satisfies us all with taste as well as texture. And to be honest when I think of some new recipe, the flavor of that recipe instantly flashes my mind.

    Not just the flavor but the texture and color too. Like the texture of paneer matar kabab is crisp and brown but inside it is all creamy, moist and soft with wild flavors of ingredients used.

    As it is the season of peas, I focused more on what extra can I dedicate to the peas and the peas lovers. Furthermore, there is another convenient option for you if you get no fresh peas in your region or area. You may simply grab the frozen peas packs available in the grocery stores and relish over your paneer matar kabab without any delay.

    Apart from paneer peas kababs, Matar kachori,  Matar Paneer and Soy Keema aur Matar ke Kofte are absolute yummy  which we love a lot and are regular at our table

    Ingredients that goes in Paneer Matar Kabab (Peas Kabab)

    You might experience it some day or may be you too do get the imaginary taste of something that you are willing to try. When I was thinking about making this matar kabab I was flowing through the stream of all the ingredients that I wished to add in here.

    • fresh Green Peas (Matar),
    • Paneer (Cottage Cheese),
    • Flours - Roasted besan (Chickpea flour) and Corn flour
    • Nuts and seeds - Cashew nuts and roasted sesame seeds, roasted cumins seeds
    • Fresh herbs and spices - Coriander leavesGreen Chilies, Ginger, Mint.
    • Spice Powders - Garam Masala powder
    • Oil for cooking peas and shallow frying the paneer matar kababs

    These are the only things which I have used in peas kebab, no extra coating of egg or maida is required for this recipe

    Storing the Matar Kababs (Green Peas kebabs)

    You may preserve the paneer matar tikkis in an air tight container and freeze it. If you have guests coming or a family get together simply just take it out from your freezer and straight into hot oil pan. Shallow fry them and enjoy. The colorful green texture inside adds a spark in the menu and an item is also added up in the starters/appetizers.

    Let us quickly now check out the ingredients and procedure 🙂

        Hi Preeti,
        I haven't tried freezing these kebabs, so no sure if that will work. But, what you can do is, you can prep these kebabs and refrigerate it covered in an airtight container up to 2 days and fry when your guests arrive.

      Can these be fried in advance and heated in a microwave for when guests arrive? I am just conscious of frying when guests are home. The fumes of frying fill up the house and kitchen becomes messy. If not microwave could they just be reheated in a greased pan? Pl do advise.

        Apologies for the delayed reply,
        yes, you can fry and re heat in the microwave. but I would suggest you to reheat in a greased pan as microwaving it can make its crisp outer soft.
