Methi Fritters (Methi Ni Vadi)

Methi fritters, made with methi leaves and it is super delicious. Best taste when methi are in season, do try out this recipe. Adding onion and tomato to methi leaves will descend the bitterness of methi leaves. It is my favorite. These are not deep fried instead pan fried which makes it healthy. I have very fond memories with this recipe as my mom use to make it for me and she calls this recipe as methi ni vadi. This vadi can be eaten with roti or place the vadi on roti top it with some mixed salad and form a roll or as simple you can use as burger Pattie.
