Methi Matar Malai Recipe

Methi Matar Malai is a very simple and easy recipe to prepare. Excellent side dish to serve with phulkas, roti or pulao. Normally in high end restaurants they will add cashew paste if you like the taste of cashew paste in the dish then avoid the maida and add 4 Tbsp cashew paste. we can also add paneer or cauliflower to the gravy.
