We love to have this dish often with our dinner. Papad and methi cooked in a mild spiced and tasty liquid gravy. Quick and easy to make.

So so so quick recipe.. If you think methi will give a bitter taste to the subzi, then you are wrong.. It is not bitter at all and you will enjoy the taste.. Make sure you add the papads only before serving to have the best taste of the subzi..
