I recently had Methi Chicken at a restaurant and wanted to try it out at home. Today I prepared Menthi chicken after consulting my goto guru a.k.a google.
Methi chicken is a simple and tasty curry where chicken is cooked with Methi/Fenugreek leaves along with Curd. Methi leaves bring a very nice & distinct flavor to the dish.
If fresh methi is not readily available, we can also use dried methi/fenugreek leaves. Dried Fenugreek is also called Kasuri methi
Health Benefits:
Healthy and tasty is a very rare combination in Indian cooking. Methi chicken is one such rare combination which is not only rich, tasty dish but also a very healthy dish
Few of the health benefits of Fenugreek/Methi are liver function improvement, regulation of diabetes, cholesterol, reduction of hair fall and improvement of skin health.
