Methi Rice
Methi Rice is very to make and taste heavenly. I love how garlic and methi blend together to give a perfect yummy taste. Its best for lunch box for kids to adults. The ghee aroma takes the taste to a different level. No one will know what's inside the rice, its best for picky kids. It stays long with its aroma and I make it often when I have unannounced guest coming to my house. Adding methi to day to day life is very important and its rich in iron and good for people who have issues with stomach problem.
