Why matar paneer calorie numbers differ
Matar paneer is green peas and paneer cubes in an onion and tomato gravy with ginger, garlic and green chilli. It is usually cooked in oil rather than cream, so the oil that separates on top and the amount of paneer in the bowl are the main differences. Some kitchens fry the cubes beforehand, which adds more oil than adding raw paneer to the gravy.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 12% of the calories in 1 bowl of matar paneer.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 277 g per bowl. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
