hi.. I'm a newbie to Singapore and cooking :) been trying out several of your recipes and love them..they always come out great! This one has my mouth watering, but I wonder where one can find methi in Singapore. Can you tell me where you bought them from? Thanks!

Amanda said...

I tried this tonight and my friends loved it! It was so easy! Another easy Indian dish for this white girl to impress with =P Hehe. By the way I used spinach instead of methi because Montana does NOT carry things that cool.
