Methi is a common winter vegetable, popularly combined with aloo to make aloo methi. This highly nutritious green, leafy vegetable is unfortunately often resisted for its slightly bitter taste.

If you are familiar with the struggle of getting methi down your kids throat, we strongly recommend this tried and tested recipe. Matar Malai Methi is a rich, creamy, flavourful dish which often finds its place in the exotic list of restaurant menus. Unlike the conventional way, this recipe replaces dairy cream with cashew cream. A perfect blend of healthy green veggies and wholesome nuts!

Why replace dairy in the recipe? Read here to know more.

Eating guide

• Food group: Veggies and nuts
• If you struggle to up your nuts intake, nut based curries during meal times are good ways to combat this challenge.
• Both veggies and nuts can be combined with other food groups including grains and lentils.
• Ideally these two food groups should not be combined with dairy or fruits (Or should we say avoid dairy and consume fruits alone, not with other food groups!)
