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.
