Methi chicken is a popular north Indian dish in which fenugreek leaves is the major ingredient. These leaves can be used in fresh or dry form. In this recipe I’m using dried fenugreek leaves. You can also use a handful of fresh fenugreek leaves. Methi leaves are healthy and impart a wonderful flavor and color to the dish. This dish goes well with almost any main course, whether it be rice or paranthas.
