Winter season you get one of best methi leaves in the market. And you make methi Matar malai, Aloo methi as a main course. For snacking do try Methi Muthiya. This version of methi Muthiya is used for Undhiya as well. Many do boil and then deep fry or shallow fry methi Muthiya but these are directly fried and they are perfect crunchy from outside and soft from inside. Apart from enjoying these with Chai or coffee you can add this Muthiya in any of the sabzi like baigan aloo, French beans sabzi etc.
