METHI POORI
Good things are not liked by all.And when it comes to food all the healthy and good ingredients are disliked as if they are forbidden.I also don’t have a soft corner for methi leaves or menthya keerai.But sometime back accidentally some fenugreek seeds fell into my balcony’s tiny garden’s pot and lo! I had my first kitchen garden harvest though unplanned.Fenugreek seeds are known for combating diabetes and of cousre has a good source of iron.So i was tempted to make this methi poori since it uses many other spices as well and so the bitterness cannot be felt.So here’s is the recipe of no bitter methi poori.
