ABOUT METHI MALAI MATAR RECIPE

Matar ki sabzi made with fresh methi and malai tastes awesome. You can add khoya also to make it more richer, but I prefer adding a little paneer chena. This way it is much lighter. This goes very well with naans and tandoori rotis.

Instructions

Slice the onion and boil it with 1 cup water. Also add the cashew nuts to it.
Grind them to a smooth paste and set aside.
In a pan, heat oil and saute the ginger garlic paste and add the methi and coriander leaves.
Stir fry for a minute and add the green peas, green chillies, salt and the spices. Pour 1 cup water and simmer to cook.

Just before removing from the gas stir in the cream and give one boil.
