Methai Malai Paneer

Methi Malai Paneer, or Fenugreek Cream Paneer, is a sumptuous and flavorful vegetarian dish originating from North Indian cuisine. This dish combines the creamy richness of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) with the distinct flavor of fresh fenugreek leaves (methi) and a luscious cream-based gravy.

To craft our Methi Malai Paneer, we start by gently sautéing cubes of paneer until they become golden and slightly crispy on the outside. Fresh fenugreek leaves, known for their earthy and slightly bitter taste, are finely chopped and added to the dish, lending a unique and aromatic twist to the recipe.

The creamy gravy is prepared by blending cashews, cream, and a selection of aromatic spices, including cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. This rich and indulgent sauce is then simmered with the sautéed paneer and fenugreek leaves, creating a delightful blend of flavors and textures.

Methi Malai Paneer is celebrated for its harmonious fusion of creamy, nutty, and slightly bitter notes. The paneer remains soft and succulent, while the cream-based gravy adds a luxurious touch to the dish. It’s a favorite among vegetarians and those seeking a flavorful and comforting option in Indian cuisine. Typically served with naan or rice, Methi Malai Paneer provides a satisfying and memorable dining experience.
