When the milk comes to a boil, reduce the flame to low and put the roasted seviyan in it.  Stir them well and cook on low-medium flame while stirring occasionally.  When the seviyan swells, add 1 tbsp of chopped almonds, 1 tbsp of chopped cashews, 1 tbsp of raisins and 1 tsp of chiroli.

When the gravy comes to a boil, add paneer cubes (chopped 200 grams of cottage cheese) and 2 tbsp of cream and mix it well.  Then cover it and cook it for 2-3 minutes on medium flame.  When the time is up, add some green coriander to it.  Mix well, Matar Paneer will be ready.  Take it out in a bowl and keep it covered.

Then add tomato-green chilli-ginger paste (2 tomatoes, 1 green chilli and 1/2 inch ginger) and mix them.  Then add 1 tsp of kashmiri red chilli powder and 1 tbsp of dry fenugreek (crushed) in it.  Mix them and fry them while stirring occasionally till the oil separates.

 

When the oil separates slightly, add chopped capsicum and beans and mix it well.  Then cover it and cook it covered for 3-4 minutes on medium flame.  When the time is up, add fried cabbage and carrots to it and mix it well.  Then add 3/4 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of garam masala and mix it.
