#besan - Methi Pithla is a simple homemade Maharashtrian style comfort food. It is actually a side dish very popular among the rural folk. This curry is made with fresh fenugreek leaves and gram flour and is traditionally served with Bhakri (indian flat bread made of jowar or bajra).

Pithla is a very easy and a quick dish that takes very little time to prepare and tastes just amazing. Never could imagine that such a simple curry can taste so delectable.
