Tips for Making Methi Malai Matar

• You can use dried fenugreek leaves (kasoori methi) instead of fresh ones if you don’t have them. Just soak them in water for 10 minutes and squeeze out the excess water before adding them to the gravy.
• You can also use almond paste instead of cashew paste for a healthier option. Just soak almonds in hot water for 15 minutes and peel off the skin before grinding them.
• You can adjust the amount of cee pee kitchen king masala according to your taste preference. You can also add some sugar or honey to balance the bitterness of fenugreek leaves if you like.
• You can make this dish vegan by replacing cream with coconut milk or cashew cream.
