Baingan Methi ki Sabzi is rich in below macronutrients, vitamins and minerals given in descending order (highest to lowest).
- Vitamin C : Vitamin C is a great defence against coughs and colds. Have citrus fruits, lemons, vegetables ( capsicum, broccoli, cabbage). Not all of the vitamin C is lost when vegetables are cooked. Some studies have shown that up to 50% of the vitamin C can be retained, depending on the cooking method and the vegetable. Cook vegetables quickly. The longer vegetables are cooked, the more vitamin C they will lose. 58% of RDA.
- Fiber : Dietary fiber reduces the risk of heart disease, prevents the spike in blood sugar levels and hence super for diabetics. Consume more fruits, vegetables, moong, oats, matki, whole grains. 42% of RDA.
- Folic Acid (Vitamin B9): Folic acid is an essential vitamin required throughout pregnancy. Folic acid rich Indian foods (kabuli chana, chana dal, yellow moong dal, urad dal, tooval dal, til ). 27% of RDA.
- Calcium. See Calcium rich recipes : Calcium is a mineral that makes bones stay strong. See our list of calcium rich Indian foods. Dairy products: Like milk, curds, cheese, paneer and buttermilk.

Hi Gayatri, It does not taste very bitter.The subzi has that slight bitter taste you get from methi. If you wish to remove the bitterness completely, you can combine the methi and little salt in a bowl and keep aside for 5 to 10 minutes. After that you can squeeze out all the water, discard it and use the methi for subzi.This will help you remove most of the bitterness from the fenugreek leaves.

Brinjal and methi is a famous combo.... what made me try this recipe is the use of the unusual masala powder and to my surprise this subzi turned out to be fabulous. The health quotient of this subzi is also high.... it's rich in iron and calcium along with being low in calories.
