🍳 Recipe Step-by-Step
🌿 Step 1: Prep Fenugreek Bhaji
Finely chop fresh fenugreek leaves after washing them thoroughly. Avoid stems for best results.
Mix chopped fenugreek leaves with salt, red chili powder, turmeric, sugar, fennel seeds, sesame seeds, coriander seeds, and ginger-chili-garlic paste. Massage the mixture with your hands to release water and soften the leaves.

🌟 Step 2: Make Dough
Gradually mix chickpea flour (besan) into the fenugreek mixture. Add a pinch of cooking soda and lemon juice for softness.
Knead into a smooth dough, adding a little water and oil if needed.
Shape small balls lightly without pressing too hard.

🥘 Step 3: Prepare the Masala Gravy
Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, cumin, fenugreek seeds, and asafoetida. Sauté ginger-chili-garlic paste.
Add pureed tomatoes and let it cook on low flame. Prepare a spice-curd paste (mix curd with salt, red chili powder, turmeric, and coriander powder) and add it to the pan.

🔥 Step 4: Cook the Methi Balls
Add a cup of hot water to the gravy, bring it to a boil, and gently drop the fenugreek balls into the pan.
Cover and cook on medium flame for 10 minutes. Flip the balls gently and cook further.
Once the oil separates, add milk cream for a creamy texture and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
