Methi Chi Patal Bhaji

This tongue-tickling subzi of fenugreek leaves and peanuts has a wonderful blend of textures and flavours, which is sure to make your taste buds yearn for more. While the traditional spice enhancers like mustard and cumin seeds feature in this Methi chi Patal Bhaji too, the unique aspect here is a final tempering of dry coconut and garlic, which gives out a really luring aroma. It is important to keep the kadhai covered for some time after adding the tempering, so that the bhaji imbibes its flavour well. If you like a tangy, sour flavour, you can mix the besan in buttermilk instead of water.
