I have never tried making methi without any other vegetables.
The addition of coconut sounds interesting and must be balancing the bitterness of methi
Thank you
I remember my mother making this, now you reminded me. I should make it sometime. A simple but tasty dish with any meal.
Thank you so much
We love methi and made stir fry too but never used coconut with it, such a lovely idea as it lends little richness to the dish.
Thank you
I have always made aloo methi never tried making methi alone, The addition of coconut sounds interesting.
Thank you.
That’s a wonderful recipe Lathiya, I usually tend to add methi with other veggies like potatoes, brinjal, ridge gourd etc but have not tried it on its own. Looks really delicious and that too with coconut.
Thank you, Mayuri. I’m yet to try methi with potatoes. Hope you enjoy this version.
I love methi subji. I make a similar one with toor dal and garlic in it. Will try your version next time, Lathiya! I am drooling over it now.
Thank you so much.
Methi Stir fry/ fenugreek leaves stir fry looks yummy Lathiya. We love this with potatoes. I pair it with some dal and my lunch is sorted.
Thank you. I need to try with potatoes.
I rarely make stir fry with just methi leaves but your recipe with coconut sounds absolutely delicious. I will try this version next time I get a fresh bunch of methi.
