Methi Muttar Malai (Fenugreek leaves and Peas in Cream Sauce)

Hello Guys,

Im so sorry....I've been so sick that I hardly got a chance to right the post ahead of time. So, here is this weeks recipe: Methi Mutter Malai. Methi is fenugreek leaves...when not cooked properly has a little bitter taste to them. But, dont be scared, they are very easy and forgiving. It has bunch of health benefits. Great for nursing mothers as they are know to increase milk supply. In India we also make Missa Paratha..Indian bread with these leaves (one of my husband's and my Son's all time favorite. It goes well with any Indian entree.
