Methi Matar Malai
Also known as: मेथी मटर मलाई
Creamy North Indian curry of fresh fenugreek and green peas in an onion-cashew gravy.
About Methi Matar Malai
Methi Matar Malai is a North Indian curry combining fresh fenugreek leaves, green peas and cream. This profile follows Dassana Amit's mild onion-and-cashew gravy version, selecting ghee from the documented fat choices.
Fresh methi gives the rich curry a measured earthy bitterness, balanced by sweet green peas, onion and cream. Cashews thicken the gravy, while cumin, ginger, garlic and green chilli provide gentle aromatic warmth.
Bright green peas and finely wilted fenugreek sit in a pale, smooth and creamy gravy. The texture is velvety and spoon-coating, punctuated by tender whole peas.
