This methi matar malai recipe is a well known winter recipe, popular in India and a delicious and rich dish as prepared with milk , nuts and cream (malai) . This recipe is bit sweet mildly due to the use of milk and malai to check the bitterness of methi leaves. This dish goes well with roti /poori/ parantha. I have combined this dish with mint paratha in my brunch.(breakfast+lunch)
