Yeah sure, garlic and methi pair very well. Do try it.
It’s monsoon here, and getting fresh fenugreek is impossible. Your tip on using Kasuri methi is God-sent. I will definitely enjoy lunch tomorrow as lasuni methi paratha with raita and achar is on the menu.
Yes, we too sometimes manage with kasuri methi.
Fresh methi parathas as such a pleasure to have. I am waiting for spring to have methis back again.
Do try it when methi is in season. You will love its flavours.
Methi parathas made with fresh greens taste so good. I usually make it without garlic. Next time, will follow your recipe.
This Methi Lehsun paratha looks so inviting, specially with a cup of adrak chai. Love methi to the core and the addition of garlic.
