Methi Malai Matar (without Malai!)

Hi & Hello to one and all!

My today’ recipe is Methi –Malai-Matar ; sweet and bitter .

Now this recipe nowhere contains malai .Surprised huh? Well I have used cornflour paste instead of malai ,which gives it a creamy texture. So now all weight watchers can have it without a second thought!

Here comes my recipe:

METHI MALAI MATAR (Serves 2-3 )





Ingredients :

Methi (fenugreek leaves) (fresh/frozen) – 2cups
Peas (fresh/frozen)- 1- 1.5 cup
Cornflour – 1 tbsp

Garlic – Ginger paste – 1 tsp
Sugar – 1-1.5 tsp
Green chilli – 2-3 / green chilli paste – 1 tsp
Salt – as per
taste
Oil – 2 tbsp (I have used extra virgin olive oil but any will do)

Procedure:

Heat oil in a kadhai/wok.
Add the chopped onions, ginger – garlic paste, chillies /chilli paste and sauté the mix till onions are slighty done.
Now add chopped methi (fenugreek leaves) and peas. Mix well. Saute for 1-2 mins.
Add the salt and sugar and again mix well.
Cook covered till almost the methi(fenugreek leaves are done).
Till the time methi(fenugreek leaves) is done ,mix cornflour and milk in a bowl.
Once methi(fenugreek leaves) is done, add the cornflour paste and mix well.
Cook covered for 1-2 mins till the cornflour paste is done.
