Basically, I tasted this recipe the very first time,many years back,when I had just got married. With my in-laws I had been to a restaurant called by the name La-Carta, we ordered this dish and I instantly fell in love with the simplicity and the flavors of the dish. After that I ordered this particular dish every time we went to this place, I tried getting the same dish in other restaurants  either it was not available or the taste wasn't so great or they even hadn't heard about it.

Sadly that restaurant closed down some years back and after that I was stuck with the reality that  I won't be able to eat this particular recipe with this amazing taste profile anymore, So I started searching online for similar recipes, but they didn't match the taste or flavor I had got so used to,So I decided to experiment and re- create this recipe with the ingredients I knew went into this particular recipe and after many attempts reached close to the original recipes flavor profile. I have tried my level best to give as much justice to this dish as much as I can. I surely will thank this wonderful place for introducing me to such amazing experience and nutritious recipe.

Basically Methi Makai Malai is a dish which is made using Fresh Fenugreek, corn and milk cream. It is a very versatile, creamy and wonderfully flavoured dish. The amazing flavors come from the freshness of  Fenugreek and corn mixed with Indian Spices, herbs and aromatics.

Ofcourse if you can't get Fenugreek in the fresh version,you can always use the dry one but the taste  obviously will not be the same. Any given day fresh vegetables are always a better option as they are healthy and nourishing.

Many times as mothers or as home makers we struggle to put something new on the table, providing the same kind of insipid and boring  version of vegetables which doesn't help in igniting hunger or enthusiasm in our kids for vegetables. But that can change if we work on changing the presentation and taste of the food we serve. In today's world most of us are working moms who juggle office, businesses and home and it becomes  difficult to be creative and  imaginative.

Little pre-prep the night before  can make it easy and your tiffin tasty, so that the kids actually eat what you give them instead of showing the tiffin to the dustbin or feeding the strays.. My daughter's friends actually wait for her tiffin .

This dish is an amazing way to make your children eat the greens which they hate so much and also to make them and you happy. So let's begin 😊

WHAT PREP-UP CAN YOU MAKE BEFOREHAND?

• Keep the fenugreek leaves ready,washed and stir-fried till they slightly crackle - 1 Bowl

• Boil one bowl of sweetcorn kernel, make paste and keep ready.

• Keep all the whole spices properly roasted in a plate.

• Cut the onion in thin  slices and fry till it is golden brown. This little prep the night before can help you create a wonderful, healthy tiffin recipe or a special night dinner recipe.
• Keep the cashews soaked at night,so morning you can quickly make the paste,to add to the other ingredients.
