How to Make Methi Malai Matar
Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Sauté onions until golden, then add ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute. Stir in tomato puree, turmeric, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until the oil separates.
Add chopped methi leaves and green peas. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the methi softens. Mix in fresh cream and sprinkle garam masala. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes until the curry becomes creamy and aromatic.
For the rotis, knead soft dough using fresh whole wheat flour and water. Rest it for 15 minutes, roll into circles, and cook on a hot tawa until both sides are golden with light brown spots.
