Nawabi Mushroom Methi Malai
Winters has already knocked our doors!Fenugreek leaves or Methi leaves is one of the most widely used green leafy vegetables specially in winters.I was from a Punjabi family and when i used to go to someones wedding in winters ,i always looked for this particular vegetable to relish it with some butter naan or tandoori roti ;-)
Methi leaves are really good for diabetic patients and it acts like a "ram baan"means it helps to fight the level of insulin in sugar patients. .Methi is good for children also as it helps to improve the eyesight and increases the blood in our body,means it works well for anaemic kids or adults.
Try to consume fresh seasonal methi as much as you can but sometimes we get bored of the same old boring style of making methi aloo :-D and its not an easy task to feed methi to the kids because they find it bitter in taste.So i have tried to made this type of creamy version of methi by adding mushrooms and peas also.The gravy of this vegetable is having mild flavours of light spices but the creamy texture makes it tastes"Nawabi "means a royal taste,that's why i have named this dish Nawabi Mushroom Methi Malai.I have used freshly chopped methi leaves but you can also use kasoori methi .The choice is up to you.
You can try this simple and delicious vegetable in your dinner parties or some get together also and definitely its going to be loved by all.
A totally hassle free dish which can be made quickly with few ingredients that are always available at your home.So no more worries to feed your fussy children.You can serve this sabzi with paranthas , rice or plain roti too,but my personal choice is to enjoy them with methi theplas or pooris.
