Methi Rice

Last Modified: April 17, 2015

There are some days when you feel threatened to go to the kitchen. Its like you dont want to heat that wok but still you have to do it. Well, thats how i felt when i got back from home and thats cos i had been living out of a suitcase for over a week. And the rain back home only dampened my mood. When i got back, there was only a cranky version of me who dint want to do anything other than sleep and watch tom and jerry. Yes! i still do and roll on the flour with laughter at Tom s vain attempts and Jerry s beguile ways. On one such day, i decided i ll just make a simple lunch. I had a bunch of methi ready to be used in my fridge and so methi rice.

Prep Time: Under 10 mins
Cook Time : Under 20 mins
