Fenugreek leaves are the member of green leafy vegetables enriched with Iron, Fiber and other Vital nutrients. The seasonal fenugreek leaves are going to end soon within one or two weeks. I have purchased the methi leaves the last time in this season and used half of them in the rice. The other half bunch is drying in sunlight to be used later throughout the year. To balance the iron and fiber in methi leaves if tomatoes are added it will be highly beneficial and tasty too. I used both tomatoes and methi in the rice dish and the outcome was fabulous. It was a very comforting lunch with my daughter. So let’s start the recipe . Yum
