North Indian Methi Butta Palak - a 'fenugreek Leaves-Baby Corn
"I came across this wonderful recipe that had an equally pretty picture accompanying it, in the newspaper, months ago! Luckily, I had cut it and saved it in a little bag in my little room. Tonight, I wanted to make something nutritious, tasty and different from usual food. I opened up the bag, and, found this! I made it for dinner tonight and we enjoyed it with hot rotis. I enjoyed it with white bread! It tastes really good. It got praises from all of us. Many thanks to 'City Times' for carrying this recipe in their newspaper."
