Sometimes I like to eat what we eat outside specially Indian food and who has amazing restaurant style dishes than Kanan's blog. I am a very big fan of her recipes, its simple, authentic and delicious too. If you "follow" my FB Page, you know that Few weeks ago I gave a shout out to her space on my page. when she posted this recipe , I have to make it. Because I am a big fan of methi. I also have this Methi Matar malai with Tomato puree, not the way restaurant style, so When she posted it I have to make it and share it with you all.
