Good recipe,will try it,but methi cooked with water,doesnt it give a bitter taste?
Brinjal and methi is a famous combo.... what made me try this recipe is the use of the unusual masala powder and to my surprise this subzi turned out to be fabulous. The health quotient of this subzi is also high.... it's rich in iron and calcium along with being low in calories.
