Malai Methi Mutter

"I made this recipe for the first time last night. As usual, I got it from an internet website. I'm posting it here because I like to have all my recipes in one place, and because it turned out so very tasty. My husband gave it a ten. I have modified it a little from the original version which I found on Indianparenting.com because it said it would feed five, but I was sure from the ingredient quantities that it wasn't going to. Also, the original recipe says to grind whole spices and I just begin with the ground spices, so here is my version of the recipe!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an American married to a Desi from Bombay. I have been on Recipezaar since 2004. When I first signed up I was just learning how to cook Indian food. I have to say, it's a good thing I wasn't working during that time because then I had a lot of hours to devote to learning. It was complicated at first, but always worth it. There is nothing in this world like a great blend of Indian spices. I get a lot of my Indian recipes from my best friend, Rupali. Also I found a new youtube channel called Vah re Vah chef. He is absolutely amazing! If it's Vah re Vah, you know it's going to be very tasty. My main concern is that I am using authentic Indian recipes. <br> <br>Most of my recipes will always be vegetarian, but I might throw in some Chicken every now and then, since I mainly use this website to keep track of meals I make for my family. I eat fish sometimes, but my husband doesn't like it, so I only eat it when we go out.
