Methi Muthia /Steamed/fried
Its our favourite Gujarathi dish again.This time it is steamed and fried version of methi muthia/muthiya.This is one of the popular Gujarathi cuisine prepared out of fenugreek leaves.Usually Steamed version is prepared as a snack and the fried ones are used in Shaak which means curries like in Undhiyu(coming up next) and many other curries.Steamed version is anytime healthier over the fried ones plus methi leaves contains many nutritional benefits.Steamed version reminds me of Aaloo wadi or our Amchi Pathrado.We consumed the steamed version for lunch and used the fried one’s in the Shaak to prepare Undhiyu.Stay tuned for the Undhiyu recipe!!!
