Methi Na Dhebra - (Count 15 - 20)
Methi-Bajra PattiesIngredients
1 cup bajri flour/bajra loat/millet flour
2 tbsp besan
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp chili powder (optional)
2 tbsp sesame seeds
salt to taste
1 cup fresh methi leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup plain yogurt
Grind to a paste
3-4 cloves of fresh garlic with greens
1/2" ginger
1 green chili
Oil for shallow or deep frying
Method
1. Grind green paste & keep aside.
2. Mix flours, and all the remaining ingredients except oil & yogurt. Add spoonful of yogurt at a time.
3. Knead to a dough using yogurt gingerly.
4. Take out small balls.
5. If shallow frying:-
Heat a frying pan or tawa. Press the balls directly on the pan to form a small but thick disc. Adding oil as required, let it brown on both the sides. Drain on the paper towel.
6. If deep frying:-
Heat oil in a wok or kadai. Using a saran wrap, press a ball of dough between two sheets of saran wrap to form a thick disc. Deep fry till it is nicely browned on both sides.
7. Serve with plain yogurt & chutney or ketchup.
Note-
1. I shallow fried above dhebras.
2. If fresh garlic is not available, use regular garlic cloves.
3. The amount of fresh methi leaves/fenugreek can be varied. I love to have more methi in the dhebras. You can use less per your taste.
