- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil or ghee (clarified butter) for richer flavor

Instructions
Prepare the Fenugreek Leaves
- Sprinkle salt on the fenugreek leaves and set aside for 15 minutes. Squeeze out excess water to remove bitterness.
Sauté the Fenugreek Leaves
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan. Sauté the fenugreek leaves over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly wilted. Set aside.
Make the Spice Paste and Cook the Curry
- Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in the same pan. Add the prepared spice paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously. Add the boiled peas and cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the sautéed fenugreek leaves, sugar, salt, milk, and cream. Mix well and add approximately 2 tbsp of water.
Simmer and Serve

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Methi Matar Malai
- For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of vegetable oil.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies to control the spice level.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, simmer for a few more minutes or add a little more cream.
- Don't overcook the fenugreek leaves, as this can make them bitter.
