Indian Curries for Baby: Baby Style Methi Mattar Malai

I’ve been thinking of developing Indian style gravy subzi’s (curries) for T to get him familiarised with the flavours. So this is the first of hopefully many to come, baby style Methi (fenugreek) Mattar Malai.

Ingredients:

1 Cup green peas boiled and coarsely mashed
1 Cup chopped methi
1 Tbsp ghee
Pinch of cumin powder
1 Small pod of grated garlic (optional)
1/2 Cup fresh cream
1 Cup milk
Salt to taste

Preparation:

Warm the ghee in a wok and add the cumin powder
Add the garlic and cook until soft
Add in the Methi and sauté till it’s cooked
Once cooked, add the boiled mashed peas
Pour in the fresh cream and milk and simmer on low, be careful not to boil for too long, since the cream and milk can split
Add salt to taste

Serve with bread/chapatti or, as is.

Also, if you want to give it a little more body you could add in some cooked and broken brown rice.
