Following quite a few requests for recipes without onions and garlic, my first Jain/ Vaishnav offering.Even though it says malai, I have kept the fattening ingredient to the minimum, by adding in milk and yoghurt.
1 cup finely chopped methi, 1 cup green peas,2 tbsp ghee, 1/4 cup tghick yoghurt, 1 tbsp cashew paste, 1/2 cup milk, 1 bay leafe, 1" piece of cinnamon, 2 green cardamoms crushed, 1/2 tsp white pepper powder, 2 tbsp cream/ clotted cream/ malai, salt to taste.
Heat the ghee, add bay leaf and cinnamon. Add methi , mix well , cover and cook on a slow flame for 5 mins. Add in the peas and cook for another 5 mins. Add milk , pepper and cardamom and cook on high heat till the milk starts evaporating and peas are almost done.reduce the flame, add yoghurt and cashew paste. stir constantly till well mixed.Add salt . Just before serving add the malai/ cream. Best served with crisp rotis or parathas.
