Notes

1. Fry methi seeds in medium low flame to get best taste . If  the flame is high they will get burnt.
2. Use sour curd / buttermilk only . Else this dish will turn bitter. More the sour , tastier the dish turns out . The sourness of the curd breaks the bitterness of methi seeds.
3. If you want , instead of ghee can use any cooking oil . But ghee makes this dish more yummy .
