Lasuni methi sabzi recipe | lasooni methi sabzi | methi bhaji recipe

Lasooni Methi Sabzi” is a quick and delicious curry made with fresh fenugreek leaves (methi) and garlic (lasoon). The dish is known for its unique blend of flavors, beautifully balancing the bitterness of fenugreek leaves with pungent and aromatic garlic. This quick and easy-to-make recipe is not only delicious but also packed with the goodness of fenugreek, garlic, and other spices. It can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course with bajra roti and garlic chutney or steam rice. Definitely give it a try!

• firstly, cut the fenugreek leaves roughly. Do not chop them finely, as we do not want our leaves to get dissolved while cooking.
• If you have a reservation about the strong garlic flavor, you can limit the number of garlic pods according to your preference. You can also add other vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and peas to make it more nutritious.
• I prepared a paste with peanuts, sesame, watermelon seeds and roasted chana dal. which gives a creamy and dhaba-style flavor to the sabzi.
• Lastly, lasooni methi sabzi tastes great when prepared slightly spicy and served hot.

Notes

1. Choose fresh and green methi leaves for the sabzi.
2. Garlic enhances the flavor of methi sabzi.
3. Frying methi in oil makes it soft and retains its green color in the sabzi.
4. Grind everything into a smooth and thick paste.
5. The ground paste gives creaminess and a dhaba-style taste to the sabzi.
6. You can use gram flour (besan) instead of daliya dal.
