When you deep-fry dumplings of fenugreek leaves bound together by wheat flour and besan, you get really tasty Methi Muthias. These muthias have a wonderful crispness, an enjoyable level of bitterness and a mildly spicy flavour.


They get even better when served in the Hara Chana Coconut Curry, which is a delicious preparation of cooked chana in a base of coconut milk, flavoured with a green paste made of spinach, coriander, ginger, green chillies and other ingredients.


This gives the curry a blend of flavours, ranging from the peppiness of coriander to the soothing taste of coconut milk. Keep the muthias and the coconut curry ready, but re-heat the curry and add the muthias to it just before serving.


All in all a completely lip smacking preparation which goes well with rice as well as parathas .

This recipe is a very different and fab recipe. This is a very unique combination of coconut milk with methi muthia and hara chana but the outcome is superb. I tried this recipe and all my family just loved it to the core. The coconut milk lends a very nice flavour to the curry.
