METHI POORI

Methi  seeds and leaves are good for health.  Even if it tastes bitter, we must include the same in our diet once in a week.

Since methi has got the medicinal value, it is good to include the same in your diet.  My Mother in Law used to soak the methi in curd and have it in the morning on empty stomach for stomach ailiments.

Methi poori can be had as a snack with a cup of tea, breakfast, lunch, dinner any time you wish.  It is so tasty that you do not need any accompaniment.  If you wish, can be served with sauce, any kind of chutney, potato stew, and mango pulp i.e. aam ras, shrikhand etc. aam ras,   my favourite as well as my son's.
