Cut the paneer into little cubes. Grate the onions. Blend the tomatoes, chillies, turmeric and keep it aside. Now take a non-stick tava and bring to heat. Then put butter and let it melt. Place the cubes on the tava and shallow fry till the edges start turning light brown. Remove from flame and make tiny holes in each paneer cube. Boil some water and then put the Mattar paneer in that to soak. This will make the paneer really soft. Take a pressure pan and pour the oil. Let it come to heat and add the cumin seeds. After they turn golden brown add the grated onions. Sauté till the onions turn golden brown. Then add the tomato paste and cook until the raw small leaves. The tomatoes will then begin giving out oil. Add the paneer and mattar. Stir well. Add a little water and bring to boil. Once its boiling add the salt stir well and close the pan. Keep it on a low flame for about ten minutes or for two whistles. If you want it to be dry then after opening the pressure pan, keep it on the stove and keep stirring till the water reduces and it becomes dry. Garnish with coriander or grated butter and serve.
