Methi Chaman

Always fancied the dish at the restaurant..and finally with the help of the thousand blog recipes I managed to make mine like one too :) Was surprised how simple it was.

Note all the ingredients in gree.

Step 1: Blanch(Boil in hot water and then drain it) palak/spinach and methi/fenugreek leaves. Blend this in a blender and make it a fine paste.

Step 2: Finely chop onions and garlic and green chilies

Method: 

In a pan heat oil on mid-high flame, and put in Bayleaves, cloves, Cinnamon stick, black cardamom. Then put in cumin seeds, once they start crackling in put in the chopped green chilies and garlic, then when they turn slightly golden, put in the chopped onions, wait for them to become translucent. Now add in turmeric, coriander powder, salt(keep in mind that with spinach it's better to use than usual amount of salt) Once the masalas roast, add in the spinach and fenugreek paste. Now let this cook till the oil separates. Now add in a little water depending on the consistency you want for the gravy of this dish. Now let this gravy boil, and then toss in the Cottage Cheese. You can roast the cheese if you are using frozen cottage cheese, in case you have fresh cottage cheese then you can use fresh cottage cheese itself. Let it cook till the cottage cheese is soft on low flame and then the dish is done!
