This recipe is especially for those who are not too excited about the winter greens (read bitter methi). A creamy topping of fenugreek greens with sweet corn & peas is healthy & delicious! Enjoy over crostini or with a flat bread.
Sprinkle about one fourth teaspoon salt to the fenugreek leaves and mix them well.
Keep them aside for approximately half an hour to forty five minutes. Squeeze out the water and keep it aside.
Make cashew nut paste by gradually adding milk till you have the desired consistency.
Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Once they crackle, add onions, ginger garlic paste and fry till the ginger and garlic become fragrant and the onions become translucent.
Add fenugreek leaves and sauté for five minutes on medium heat. Add peas, corn & split green chillies and sauté for another minute or two.
Add cashew paste, cream, salt, dry mango powder, white pepper powder, coriander powder and garam masala and cook for half a minute.
Add milk now and cook for further 3-4 minutes. Add more milk (or water) to adjust the consistency to your liking.
Serve with chapatti or as filling for sandwich or topping for toast. Enjoy!
Notes
Boil the green peas till they are done but firm.
Feel free to increase the amount of cream if you wish to.
The addition of dry mango powder is optional but it helps tone down the bitterness of fenugreek.
Since the fenugreek leaves were marinated in salt, be watchful with the amount of salt you add to the dish.
