Methi ki Launji is a traditional recipe from Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Prepared with dried fenugreek seeds and dried dates, this lightly sweetened chutney/pickle is especially popular during winters.
Fenugreek seeds or Methi in Hindi has numerous health benefits and used for medicinal purposes. Methi helps to lower cholesterol so reduces risk of heart diseases and is very good for diabetic patients as it helps to regulate blood sugar levels. Methi seeds has been found to be helpful to cure gastric trouble and indigestion. My parents eat soaked Methi seeds as it helps them in joint pains especially arthritis.
This is my mother in law’s recipe, and we usually prepare it in winters and also during festivals and celebrations. There are two variations of this recipe- sweet and sour or salty. I love them both but sweet and sour one is a family favourite. This recipe has long shelf life especially the sweeter version.
This recipe is simple, perfect and unique which is relished with Methi Thepla, Moong Dal Paratha, Palak Poori, Mint and Sesame Lachha Paratha, Tandoori Aloo Paratha and Aloo Paratha.
