This recipe is made with fenugreek leaves (only available at the Indian store), not the dry ones but the fresh fenugreek leaves. The leaves are part of Indian cuisine, they are a bit bitter and I love the bitter taste, somewhat like Arugula, if I may, only we eat the leaves cooked. The traditional recipe calls for 1 cup heavy whipping cream, but I have added no cream to this recipe. It is ideal for a healthy weeknight meal.
2 cups fenugreek leaves, plucked and chopped
1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 cinnamon stick
3-4 green cardamom pods, muddled
3-4 cloves
