Methi Papad is a mouthwatering delicacy that provides you a clear taste of Gujarati cuisine – simple yet irresistibly tasty! A thin sauce like preparation with fenugreek leaves and a traditional tempering, is topped with shredded papads and served hot with roti, puri or rice. Remember to add the papad just before serving, otherwise it will soak up the liquid and disintegrate, spoiling the whole dish.

Tarla Dalal Hi, If you are carrying to office. carry the papad separately. while serving reheat the curry in the microwave fo 2 minutes, add the papad, microwave it again for 2 to 3 minutes and then serve.

We want to add garlic. which way

Tarla Dalal Hi asmita If you want to add garlic in the recipe, you can pound peeled garlic and add it in the tadka before adding the fenugreek leaves.

Do you roast/fry the papad before adding to the Methi sabzi?

Tarla Dalal Hi Meena, There is no need to roast/fry the papad before adding to the Methi sabzi.

So so so quick recipe.. If you think methi will give a bitter taste to the subzi, then you are wrong.. It is not bitter at all and you will enjoy the taste.. Make sure you add the papads only before serving to have the best taste of the subzi..

We love to have this dish often with our dinner. Papad and methi cooked in a mild spiced and tasty liquid gravy. Quick and easy to make.
