Carrot Methi Sabzi


This recipe is a variation for the famous - Aloo Methi. I tried the same recipe with carrots and it turned out to be good. So thought to share with you all.

Methi, as you all know is very good for our health. Because of its bitterness, many people avoid eating them. Put little salt in the chopped methi leaves and keep aside for sometime and while using them, squeeze the water from the leaves. This will take away the bitterness from them without compromising on its nutritional values. So next time, don't run away from methi leaves...try this recipe and you will definitely like it.

4 Carrots (medium, peeled and cut into cubes)
1 bunch Methi leaves (washed and chopped)
1 tbsp Oil
1 Onion (finely chopped)
3 cloves of Garlic (finely chopped)
