Hi Buddies,
Back with a simple yet healthy recipe. This is my friend’s recipe and it’s very easy to make. All you need is a fresh bunch of methi/fenugreek leaves to cook this. Methi adds very nice flavor to the dish and very less use of spices makes it my little one’s favorite. I have added mint leaves and cashews/raisins (as my hubby loves them) also to it.Try out this healthy recipe for sure.
