Homemade Methi Khakhra
Popular in Gujarati and Rajasthani households, this crispy cracker is perfect for when the snack cravings hit. Add the methi leaves in the mix, and you have a healthy and homemade snack ready for you to munch away.
Fenugreek leaves or methi play a great role in helping you meet your daily requirements of Vitamin K, C and calcium in moderation. These aromatic and bitter leaves can instantly enhance flavour, and are used in many cuisines globally, especially in Indian curries and snacks. Incidentally, fenugreek leaves grow well in warm and hot climates, so they can also be grown at home.
Some types of allergies or inflammation of the respiratory tract can be easy to treat by using fenugreek leaves in meals. Fenugreek leaves also have a high capacity to reduce the bad cholesterol in the body. Along with reducing the LDL ("bad" cholesterol) and triglycerides in the body, methi also helps to avoid heart diseases by improving and stimulating healthy cholesterol levels.
Methi, being low in calories, can be ideal for those looking to keep a check on their weight. It also has soluble fibre, which keeps you satiated for a long time.
