Methi Mattar Malai

This recipe is a modified version of Tarla Dalal's Methi Mattar Malai to suit my requirements of making gravy without onions and garlic.

Ingredients (Translation)

1 cup chopped fenugreek leaves
1/2 cup cooked green peas
A bit of sugar
Salt to taste
2 tbsp oil
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
3 tbsp fresh cream

For masala paste

1/2 tsp ginger paste
1 green chilli
5 to 8 cashews
2 tsp poppy seeds (khus khus)

Grind the masala and keep ready. In a microwave safe bowl, add oil, fenugreek leaves and cumin seeds and micro high for 2 minutes.

In a seperate bowl, add some more oil, masala paste and micro high for 30 seconds. Add milk, cream, salt as per taste, pinch of sugar, cooked peas and fenugreek leaves. Mix well and micro high for 2 more minutes. (Since i wanted a thick gravy and also retain the white colour of the gravy, 2 tbsp of rice flour mixed in water was added at this stage and micro high for 1 more minute.)

Serve hot with rotis.
