what is methi pudla made of ?

 

    1. what is methi pudla made of ? See below image of list of ingredients for methi pudla.
preparing methi

 

    1. In a bowl put 3/4 cup finely chopped fenugreek (methi).
    2. Add a little salt. We added 1/8th tsp salt.
    3. Mix well.
    4. Keep aside for 15 minutes. 
    5. Squeeze out all the excess water.
batter for methi pudla

 

    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).
    8. Add 1 tsp sugar.
    9. Add approx. 1½ cups of water.
    10. Mix well.
making methi pudla

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.
