Methi Rice

Methi rice is a tasty, healthy, and aromatic dish where fresh fenugreek leaves are used with the rice. This is one of the traditional Indian recipes that combine bitter methi with the nutty flavour of basmati rice, bringing in a dish of a unique taste to satisfy your hunger. It's a great way to add the nutrition of fenugreek to your diet since the methi leaves are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. First, wash the fresh methi leaves and cut them into pieces to prepare methi rice. When cooked, methi perfectly balances its bitterness and adds a mild, earthy flavour to the rice. Heat oil/ghee; saut onions, green chillies, and ginger-garlic paste to it. Then add chopped methi leaves and let them wilt down. Once the methi has softened, add washed rice, water, and spices like turmeric powder, cumin seeds, and coriander powder. Cook till the rice is done and flavoured well combined. Some recipes include a pinch of garam masala or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for added texture and flavour. This simple methi rice recipe goes well with the savoury, slightly bitter notes accompanied by aromatic notes. It can be served as a meal on its own or with yoghurt, raita, or curry. Whether it is light lunchtime or dinner, methi rice is the tastiest yet healthy twist on regular rice dishes.
