Yesterday was thinking to make a nice warm dinner, as it was raining the whole day - the chilly days starting again...
Hot hot chapati with malai sabji .... gr8 combination... isn't it ???

So here we go ....

Ingredients:-
1 large Onion
1/4 cup Kasturi Methi ( Dried fenugreek leaves) - If u have fresh methi , double the quantity and double the sugar quantity also.
250 gm paneer( Cottage cheese)
1/2 cup Matar(Peas)
2 pods Garlic
1" ginger piece
4 Green chillies - ( as the dish is bit sweet and we do not use red chilly powder , add more green chillies according to ur taste)
3 tbsp Yoghurt
Handful of Cashews , soaked in water and ground to paste
3 tbsp Heavy cream
Salt and pepper according to your taste
2 tsp Sugar
1/2 tsp Garam masala (Optional)
1 tbsp Butter

Make a fine paste of Onion, green chillies, garlic and ginger. Heat little Oil in a pan , add onion paste and saute for enough time as to remove the raw smell of the onion. Do not brown the paste as our gravy is white in color. Remove the pan from flame and add the yoghurt. Back on flame till the water from yoghurt dries off. Now add the kasturi methi, salt, pepper, sugar, peas and a cup of water. Cover and cook till peas are done( usually for frozen peas , it hardly takes 1 minute - but we need to cook the methi, so keep it on flame for some more time). Now add the Cashew Paste and the paneer, mix well. Then add the butter and garam masala and the cream , cook till nice boil comes and Your delicious paneer methi matar malai is ready to serve.

P.S. You can have this with Hot fried rice (fried rice only with nuts)also ....
