I always love cooking with Fenugreek leaves. I can add them in curry, flat bread or even use it to make snacks. Remember the methi mathri recipe I shared earlier in my blog? It is one of my favorite tea time snack. I also love to eat Methi Na Gota with some spicy coriander chutney and a cup of ginger tea. One of the secrets of a successful life is to cook what you like and eat it happily..
