Pro Tips

• Always refrigerate the malai or cream for use, then whip it using the whisker until they become smooth in consistency to use. Try to add cold cream and never add hot or warm malai (cream) because it will not give the exact texture of this recipe.
• If the fenugreek leaves are bitter, then take the fresh ones, chop them into small pieces, and add salt to them. Mix them well, and keep them on a side for some time. Then squeeze the leaves using your palms by gently pressing and removing the juice altogether. It will take all the bitterness with it.
• Always add half a cup of whipped cream or heavy cream if you are using it instead of low fat cream.
• Fresh green peas or frozen green peas, anything can be added after boiling in hot water for some time.
• Always remember to stir the mixture continuously while making the methi fenugreek recipe, and add a little water whenever required for a perfect consistency of the curry.
