A dish made by my husband and very much liked by me. Methi is known to be rich in fibre, vitamins, and minerals, including iron, magnesium, and manganese. Some potential benefits include aiding digestion, improving blood sugar control and reducing inflammation. it's a great source of saponins which help reduce cholesterol.
