Healthy and yummy all in one neat little package! What more can you ask for? Serve Methi Parathas with chilled yogurt and a pickle of your choice.

Methi bhaji i.e. the leafy vegetable is a favorite with my family. It’s a nutritious vegetable like all other leafy vegetables.

This mildly bitter herb is believed to have medicinal properties. Dried leaves, either whole or ground, are called kasuri methi, and they’re a good substitute for fresh methi leaves. Look for fresh or dried leaves in Indian markets. Substitutes: celery leaves
