Methi Corn Malai is cooked in a mild and rich curry.
Methi Corn Malai / Methi Makai Malai or Corn Methiwala is a very popular North Indian style curry. This curry is slightly sweet in taste. This recipe is a sure shot winner recipe.
It’s creamy, smooth, delicious and healthy with the corn and Methi. This recipe can be made under 30 minutes.
This Methi Corn Malai recipe is good for kids too, especially if you want to feed them Methi/fenugreek leaves.
There is no bitterness, because of the presence of cream, onion, and cashews. I prefer to use fresh fenugreek leaves.
But you can use dried kasoori methi to make this. Just soak Kasuri methi in water for 10 minutes and add it into the gravy. I used frozen corn to make this recipe, but you may use fresh corn. Just boil them and add it into the gravy.
Methi Corn Malai is served as a side dish with Naan, Paratha or Rice. Do check my other Methi recipes Methi Matar Malai recipe, Methi Palak Paratha
For Jain – Please avoid Garlic, Ginger and onion. Add 5 to 7 more cashews instead.
