Methi (Fenugreek) wadi

I had a methi bunch in the refrigerator which was getting dried up and so started searching online for recipes. Found a number of recipes and used a combination of several recipes to prepare this tasty yet healthy snack

Serves: 3-4 people


Ingredients:


  1. Methi (Fenugreek) leaves (finely chopped) - 1 bunch
  2. Wheat flour - 4-5 tbsp
  3. Gram flour (Besan) - 2 tbsp
  4. Semolina (Rawa) - 2 tbsp
  5. Cumin powder - 1 tsp
  6. Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
  7. Garlic (minced) - 1 tsp
  8. Ginger (Grated) - 1 tsp
  9. Green chili paste - 1 tsp
  10. Oil - 1 tbsp

For the tempering:

  1. White sesame seeds - 1/2 tsp
  2. Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
  3. Oil - 1 tsp

Method:

1) Mix all the ingredients except oil. Knead into a soft dough. Add very little water while kneading

2) Divide the dough into 5-6 parts and shape into cylinders. Place into a greased flat vessel

3) Steam in pressure cooker for 20-25 minutes

4) Cut each cylinder into small pieces.

5) Shallow fry in oil till golden brown on both sides

6) Heat the oil set aside for tempering. Add the sesame seeds and mustard seeds

7) Pour over the cut wadis.Serve with ketchup.

Tip: In order to get rid of the bitter taste of methi, add salt to the chopped methi and leave it for 5 minutes. Then squeeze out water from this methi and discard it.
