Methi Matar Malai

Methi Matar Malai is a popular Indian dish, especially made in North India during the winter season when fresh fenugreek is in season!

In this recipe, fenugreek, peas, and cream are combined into a delicious, sweet, and creamy curry. The slightly bitter taste of fenugreek leaves pairs well with sweet green peas and fresh cream.
