This Menthya Chutney is commonly prepared at my mom's house. My mom usually makes this menthe chutney with godhi kadubu (steamed wheat flour dumplings) or bili rotti. But we also eat 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 recipe 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 improve milk supply in lactating mothers.

My mom served me this menthya chutney with steamed rice and pepper rasam for my postpartum diet.

Other Methi Recipes to try from my blog are methi leaves pulao, methi paratha, sprouted fenugreek salad, Methi Corn Rice|Karnataka Style Menthya Rice.

Tips & Variations

  1. You can dry roast methi/menthya seeds before grinding. My mom usually makes it that way. But when I do not have time I just make this chutney without roasting methi seeds taste equally good.
  2. This methi chutney can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
  3. Do not skip adding jaggery, as it will balance the bitterness from methi seeds.
