Methi batate sukke

I learnt this recipe from my mom in law. This is  one of the favourite dish in my hubby’s home. Home grown methi(uluva cheera/fenugreek) leaves  gives more taste to this dish.

Methi  leaves have a lot of health benefits and should be included in our diet.  We can grow it easily in our kitchen garden.
