Paneer Methi Malai
Advertisement
Paneer Methi Malai as the name suggests is a rich creamy dish prepared with paneer and methi. Methi or fenugreek leaves often leave behind a bitter taste so combining it with a cream based sauce is a wonderful camouflage. In my recipe, the methi is presoaked so there is no lingering bitter after taste and kids can enjoy this dish heartily.
Paneer is universally loved by the vegetarians and this recipe is a very close restaurant style version of Paneer Methi Malai.
