My favorite Methi Bhaji Recipe

So out of so many vegetables, I have few favorite ones like okra, cauliflower, beans and in the leafy vegetables my personal favorite is Methi (Fenugreek) I cook this one often as not only you get goodness of the vegetable but also the taste that makes you feel like eating it all the time. So here is a recipe of my favorite vegetable.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Bunch of Methi leaves
  • 1 Medium Tomato
  • 1 Medium Onion
  • 3-4 cloves of Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Red Chilli Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 3/4 inch of Jaggery
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil 3 tsp
Recipe: Heat the oil in a kadai and add pressed garlic cloves in it. Make sure you do not chop or cut them but just press them, this will get their flavour out easily in the oil. Fry till light brown, do not burn them. Now add the chopped onions and fry till onions are transparent. Add the red chilli & turmeric powder. Mix well and add chopped tomatoes (I chop them in chunks instead of fine) Fry till tomatoes are little soft. Now add the chopped methi leaves ( I add fresh ones washed but you can also use the frozen variety for this recipe). Cover with lid and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring every few minutes to ensure it does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Once the methi is cooked, add the jaggery and salt. Mix well and serve hot with rotis or chapaties.
