bored quickly with food and need to keep changing things. If you are looking to add a lighter, simple and healthier option for your snacks or appetizer, then here is savory steamed healthy methi muthia. Once you prepare it, you will prepare it again and again, because they are so tasty, healthy and non-deep fried. It's yummy, filling and so full of flavor. I like saving time, so the recipes I create are instant, healthy and easy to make and none of them call for expensive ingredients. Everything is easily accessible from your kitchen pantry. It can be made ahead of time, and whenever need just take out from the refrigerator and stir fry in a pan for 4-5 minutes. It's naturally vegan and gluten-free, no artificial ingredients added here. Just aromatic, fiber-rich fenugreek leaves with a bajra and chickpeas flour coating. So, this healthy and easy to prepare methi muthis can be eaten as a breakfast dish or as an evening snack.
           I love fresh fenugreek leaves, and I have prepared recipes using fenugreek leaves in many ways as possible. Also, new year's resolution of mine is loose some weight for that weight loss journey I keep looking for a healthy, filling, yet tasty snacks. This methi muthia is one of my favorite savory snack to munch on. These savory bars are crumbly, crunchy and light on the stomach. This is the best way to get children to eat fresh green fenugreek leaves (veggies). Chickpeas flour is a good source of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals and they are so filling and make you feel full.
             Fenugreek leaves are the most widely used green leafy vegetable. Fenugreek leaves are aromatic and help to enhance the flavor of any dish and are used in many cuisines. They are rich in fiber and hence helpful in treating gastric problems like constipation. Bajra(pearl millet) is rich in magnesium, and it helps to prevent heart diseases. It has high amounts of fiber and helps digestion. Chickpeas flour is gluten-free, higher in dietary fiber and has a higher in protein too.
             Have you ever tried methi muthia before? If you are like me and love to snack on crispy, savory food, but having a habit of eating healthy food, then you will absolutely love this fenugreek and chickpeas steamed savory bars/methi muthia.
