    Methi Na Gota Recipe – Gujarati Style Methi Pakoras or fritters made with fresh fenugreek leaves and chickpea flour.

    A bowl of methi na gota snack with a cup of coffee

    Methi Na Gota is a famous Gujarati snack made with fenugreek leaves or methi leaves, gram flour and spices. These Gujarati style methi pakoras or fried fritters are so soft, light and very flavorful. I have learned this recipe from the Etv gujarati rasio show.
