Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the methi leaves thoroughly and chop them coarsely. Also, wash and blanch the green peas.

  2. 2

    Sauté Onions

    In a pan, heat the vegetable oil or ghee over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Add chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Ginger-Garlic Paste

    Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Cook Tomatoes

    Add the chopped tomato and cook until it breaks down and blends into the mixture, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Spices

    Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and salt to taste. Stir well to combine.

  6. 6

    Add Methi and Peas

    Mix in the chopped methi leaves and blanched green peas. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the methi wilts and the peas are heated through.

  7. 7

    Add Cream

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the curry simmer for another 3-5 minutes.

  8. 8

    Finish with Garam Masala

    Sprinkle garam masala over the dish and give it a final stir. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Serve the Methi Matar Malai hot with steamed rice or naan bread.
