🙏Hello and namaste foodies 🙏
Welcome again to my blog. I'm so glad that you are here.
Today i would like to share the recipe of a special Rajasthani dish methi ki laungi. This is a great vegan dish. I love to eat this with chapati and bajre ki roti.
This is a traditional Rajasthani recipe made with soaked Fenugreek seeds. Taste sweet , spicy and little bitter . We add many spices , sugar, jaggery & raisins to balance the taste. It is so healthy and delicious too which can be enjoyed with normal chapathi, bajre ki roti, besan roti , parathas , rice, khakhars and also as a pickle.
Methi seeds are very healthy. It improves digestion, decrease cholesterol level in blood and improve heart health.
This is a great recipe, because with taste we consumed healthy food. What else we need 😜.
