Gajar and Methi ki sabji (cooked carrot and methi) is a an easy to make dry veggie preparation that tastes awesome and is highly nutritious. Gajar known as Carrots in English, are rich in Vitamin A, and Vitamin C. Methi (fenugreek) leaves are mildly bitter in taste but have significant medicinal values. This light and healthy vegetable preparation goes very well with roti, plain paratha or can also be served with dal and rice.

Methis is growing in abundance in our kitchen garden. It is time to try various recipes using methi leaves for me. Since childhood we have been eating methi with aloo (potato). The bitterness of methi blends with the mild flavor of potato. This time I tried adding gajar with methi and it turned out extremely delicious. This is also a very nutritious option for diabetics as well. Try this delicious and healthy preparation and please do share your comments. Happy cooking, Shuchi
