Methi Chutney|Karnataka Style Menthe Chutney is healthy and is packed with flavors, bitterness from methi/fenugreek seeds ,sweetness from jaggery.Served with idli, rice, dosa, godhi kadabu, billi rotti in Karnataka.
This Menthe Chutney is a commonly prepared chutney at my mom’s home.My mom usually makes this chutney with godhi kadubu(steamed wheatflour dumplings) or bili rotti.But we also ate with dosa and idli.Usually the utter name of fenugreek seeds makes people frown due to its bitter taste, but I bet on this you are just going to love this.
This Methi chutney is not only nutritious but very tasty too.It is good for lactation, strengthens bones, good for backache especially after delivery.Both fenugreek seeds and fenugreek leaves are said to improve milk supply in lactating mothers.
For my Postpartum Diet my mom served me this chutney with steamed rice and pepper rasam.
