Corn Fenugreek Pulao

I typically avoid elaborate cooking over weekends and always prefer one pot meals. One pot meals with rice is usually the most convenient. So here is the rice pulao I made this weekend using corn and my all time favorite methi (fenugreek) leaves. It tasted great... simple homey, aromatic and flavorful. The slight bitterness of methi, sweetness from the corn cooked with rice and spices. I know I am going to make it often!

Tofu methi thepla

 
packet of silken tofu was sitting in my refrigerator for longer than I would've liked it to... everytime I opened my fridge, I would think what to make out of them but I just couldn't come up with anything. Last sunday for dinner I was not in the mood to cook something elaborate and thought of making some methi thepla. Which we all know is a well known gujarati bread which is thankfully a full meal in itself :) So I went in the kitchen and started preparing everything, opened my fridge and again the same tofu was there staring back at me and bingo came the bright idea :D why not make tofu methi thepla, went ahead, made it and served to hubby with some yogurt and pickle.. he loved it, I loved it and so this recipe was born. The result was a soft and flavorful tofu methi theplas. Also a very good way to add some extra protein to your diet, so both healthy and yummy. If you are not a big tofu fan, this dish might just make you a convert.. Can be served as breakfast or snack, lunch or even dinner.

Kasoori methi aloo


I like the flavor of methi leaves or fenugreek very much and try to incorporate them in almost everything I make (daal, rice, roti) when they are in season. They are known for their unique taste and amazing medicinal value. One day I was craving for some aloo methi when the fresh methi were off season. I tried the same with the dried fenugreek leaves (kasoori methi) and some whole baby potatoes and it turned out just as great, a fragrant and flavorful dish with all the taste of fresh methi.
These are great for taking on picnics, for potlucks and taste awesome with pooris. You can always substitute the kasoori methi with fresh or frozen ones (see notes) but do try this once and everyone will be asking for the recipe :)
