  1. Transfer the methi into a deep bowl. Fenugreek leaves help in improving glucose and insulin responses, hence good for diabetics. The levels of cholesterol also reduced with intakes of fenugreek leaves.
  2. Add 1 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta). Whole wheat flour is excellent for diabetics as they will not shoot up your blood sugar levels as they are a low GI food.  Whole wheat flour is rich in Phosphorus which is a major mineral which works closely with calcium to build our bones
  3. Add 2 tbsp besan (bengal gram flour). Besan has more good fat than whole wheat flour and also higher protein content.
  4. Add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder (haldi).
  5. Add 1 tsp garlic (lehsun) paste.
  6. Add 1 tsp chilli powder.
  7. Add 1/4 tsp asafoetida (hing).

I loved besan pudla recipe, but as I make it often I got quite fed up of it, So I tried this recipe which uses methi and it tasted really good. I serve this with green chutney and toasts.
