About
Methi vadi is a popular Indian snack made from fenugreek leaves (methi), chickpea flour (besan), and spices. The mixture is formed into small dumplings or logs and then sun-dried or deep-fried. Once prepared, methi vadi can be stored for an extended period. It is commonly used in various dishes like curry, stir-fries, or served as a crispy snack on its own. Methi vadi offers a unique blend of flavors, with the earthiness of fenugreek complementing the savory and spicy taste of the chickpea flour and spices.
