This paneer recipe looks green like palak paneer, but it tastes totally different. The main ingredients of methi malai paneer apart from paneer are fenugreek leaves and fresh cream.
Fenugreek leaves have a characteristic bitterness. But this paneer recipe also uses cream to lighten the bitter taste of methi. This paneer recipe is not exactly high calorie but it isn't a diet food either. You need to use generous amounts of cream and milk to get the rich taste of methi malai paneer.
