Easy and Creamy Methi Matar Malai Recipe | Methi Matar Malai

Healthy and Creamy Methi Matar Malai
Ingredients:
1 and ½ cup green peas
1 cup fresh chopped fenugreek leaves (Methi)
3 tbsp. oil
½ inch cinnamon stick
4 cloves
1 red chilli dry
3-4 garlic cloves
2 green chilli
½ inch ginger, chopped
1 medium sized onion, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
½ cup cashews
Salt to taste
1 green elaichi
2 bay leaves
½ tsp. cumin seeds (Jeera)
A small pinch heeng
½ tsp. coriander powder
¼ tsp. red chilli powder
¼ tsp. garam masala
½ cup cream or fresh malai
Instructions:
Remove stems from methi, wash and chop them. Sprinkle some salt over it and keep it aside for 10 minutes. This method helps to remove bitterness.
Boil the green peas in a pressure cooker for 4 minutes or until they become soft.
Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a pan on medium flame. Add cinnamon stick, cloves and dry red chilli in oil. Add chopped garlic, ginger and green chilli. Sauté till raw aroma goes away.
Add chopped onion and cook till they become golden brown.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook until become mushy.
Add cashews and mix. Turn off flame and let them cool.
Squeeze out all the water from methi using your hand.
Grind tomato-onion mixture into a blender to a fine paste using a little water if required. Keep aside.
Heat remaining oil in a pan. Once it become hot, sauté green cardamom and bay leaf.
Add cumin seeds and let them crackle. Add a small pinch of heeng.
Add onion tomato puree and sauté until oil starts to separate from sides; it takes approx. 1 to 2 minutes.
Add red chilli powder and coriander powder. Mix properly all spices.
Add methi and cook for 1 minute. Add boiled peas and 1 cup water. Add salt to taste and garam masala. Mix properly. Gravy starts to thicken. If required add 1/2 cup more water to adjust consistency.
Cover with a lid and cook for 2 minutes on low flame.
After 2 minutes remove lid and add fresh cream or malai. Mix properly. Switch off the flame.
Serve hot with naan, roti or rice.
