Step 3 : Spice and add peas

Start timer

Once the tomato mixture is soft and well-cooked, sprinkle in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Stir the spices into the onion-tomato mixture, allowing them to cook for about 1 minute to release their flavors. Add the green peas to the cooker, and sauté for 2-3 minutes so they start absorbing the flavors. Then, gently fold in the paneer cubes, being careful not to break them. Pour in the required amount of water to form the curry base. Add the MAGGI Masala ae Magic and salt to taste. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 4 : Pressure cook

Start timer

Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and increase the heat to high. Wait for the cooker to reach full pressure, which is indicated by the first whistle. Once you hear the first whistle, reduce the heat to low and let the curry cook for another 2 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the paneer to absorb the spices. After 2 minutes, turn off the heat and allow the pressure cooker to depressurize naturally before opening.
