Khasta Methi Puri

Khasta Methi Puri  

This Khasta Methi Puri, I made using fresh methi from my kitchen garden. Earlier I used to have a big kitchen garden, but recently I moved to society flats where I could grow herb plants like methi, spinach etc. in flower pots.

I always prefer using such fresh herbs as it gives wonderful aroma and thrills as well for using own home grown stuff. In winters we can consume oily food as we get good energy. So next time when you are making puries or paranthas, experiment with your home grown green leafy veggies to add fibre, nutrients and richness to your family.
