Methi and matar are a super-hit combination as their flavours complement each other well. Add to this a fragrant masala paste, an even more zestful.

4
2 cups chopped fresh fenugreek leaves
1 cup boiled green peas
1 cup fresh cream
2 tbsp ghee/oil
1/4-1/2 cup Water
sugar to taste optional
salt to taste
Ingredients for the paste
1 medium size onion chopped
1 tsp Jeera/cumin seeds
3-4 cloves garlic chopped
1 Ginger chopped
1-2 Green chilies chopped
1/4 cup cashewnuts chopped
To Garnish
coriander leaves chopped
1/2 cup green peas optional
Add all the ingredients for the paste in a blender and grind without adding water. Keep aside. Heat ghee/oil in a pan. Add the ground paste and fry the paste for 6-7 minutes till it starts giving a fragrant aroma. Keep on stirring in between to avoid the paste from sticking to the pan. Add a little water if it sticks to the pan. Add chopped fenugreek leaves and ΒΌ cup water or more. Mix well and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the boiled peas and cream. Simmer for 5-6 minutes on a low flame. Add the sugar and salt and mix well. Garnish and serve hot with indian breads.
