Methi Pakoda is a pakoda or fritters recipe made using methi leaves or fenugreek leaves and making pakoda using these leaves is another version of making fritters. Methi is said to have lots of health benefits like it helps in controlling sugar levels in our body.

Other pakoda recipes include spinach fritters, rice pakora  and kanda bhaji.

Methi is a bit bitter in taste ingredient but making methi in different ways and having it helps in improving our health conditions in a better way...

Methi is also added in tempering and also in pickle recipes to add flavor and aroma...

If you want to try other methi recipes from my blog then do try methi chicken etc...

           Methi is a rarely eaten recipe but it makes an amazing combination when added to vegetable curries like potatoes or aloo sabzi or any other veggie...

        Methi leaves should be added to vegetables often as they give a good aroma and taste to sabzi recipes and also to non veg like mutton dishes...

         Methi is often referred to as fenugreek in english and making pakodas is one of the best ways to include methi in our diet and this is a good winter or rainy snack to be had along with tea...
