Methi Matar Malai Recipe – How To Make Methi Matar Malai

Methi Matar Malai Recipe

Methi Matar Malai is nothing but fresh fenugreek leaves(methi) with peas(matar) in a fresh cream(malai) based rich sauce.I have already posted a version with kasoori methi which has all spice powders.I always had the fear to try with fresh leaves as I was doubting whether it would give a bitter taste but this gravy proved my assumption wrong, it was so good that even kids who dislike greens would fall for it.This is such a  rich restaurant style gravy that can be made in minutes.

I always make Methi Thepla as all of us like it but when I have both peas and methi I ocassionally make this gravy too as its mittus favorite.

It is a delicious gravy with a smooth and creamy texture perfect to dip and polish the gravy with phulkas and thats what we did too 🙂 This is one gravy which was sitting in drafts so thought to post it now.We had it with phulka and rice.

My Notes:

  • The gravy is thick and creamy.
  • I used my steamer to cook peas, you can pressure cook for 2 whistles too.I used resh green peas,you can use frozen too in that case add it along with methi leaves to the gravy no need to precook it.
  • Adding cream gives a creamy and rich restaurant flavour.I used homemade fresh cream.
  • If you want low fat version reduce cream and add more milk but sure the taste will differ.
  • Use fresh methi leaves for best flavour.
