Methi Corn Malai Curry-Corn and fresh fenugreek cooked in a mild and rich curry.

Methi Corn Malai- Corn methiwala /Methi corn malai or Methi makai malai is a very popular North Indian style curry. The slightly sweet taste of corn and cashew blend very well with fenugreek in this curry. Though it is made in a quite rich gravy but I have skipped adding cream in it and just added cashew paste and milk but you can add cream if you wish.Boiled fresh corn or frozen or tinned corn can be used to make Methi corn malai.
I prefer to use fresh fenugreek/methi if available in the season but you can also use dried kasoori methi to make this ,just add the soaked dried fenugreek in water for 10 minutes ,drain the water and add the soaked methi in the curry. Methi corn malai is served as a side dish with naan, roti or rice preparations
