Ingredients
  

  • 1 large bunch of fresh Methi Fenugreek leaves, plucked and washed
  • 1/2 ladle of cooking oil or as per your preference
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds
  • 6 to 7 cloves of garlic coarsely crushed
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 4 green chillies coarsely crushed (adjust to your spice level)
  • 1 small tomato finely chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 tablespoons of roasted peanut powder coarsely ground with skin

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Heat a pan on the stove and pour 1/2 ladle of oil into it. Let the oil heat up well.
  • Step 2: Add 1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds and let them crackle.
  • Step 3: Add 6 to 7 coarsely crushed garlic cloves. Fry them lightly until they turn a golden colour to enhance the flavour of your Quick Methi Chi Bhaji.
  • Step 4: Mix in 1 chopped medium onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent.
  • Step 5: Stir in 4 crushed green chillies and fry them well with the onion and garlic mixture.
  • Step 6: Add 1 small chopped tomato and cook until it becomes slightly soft.
  • Step 7: Carefully add the fresh methi leaves. If the bunch is too big, add a little at a time and stir so it wilts down easily.
  • Step 8: Let the leaves release their natural water and reduce slightly. Then, add salt to taste. Adding salt later prevents the Methi Chi Bhaji recipe from releasing too much excess water.
  • Step 9: Cook on medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally so the tender stems cook properly.
  • Step 10: Once the moisture reduces, add 4 tablespoons of coarsely ground roasted peanut powder and mix everything perfectly.
  • Step 11: Cook for another 2 minutes until the remaining water dries up completely. Your Quick Methi Chi Bhaji is now ready to serve!
