Methi ki puri (मैथी की पूरी) is a crispy, perfectly fluffy, deep fried poori which is prepared with fresh fenugreek leaves (methi leaves). This is a flavoured and tasty variation of plain poori. To cook this puri, you need fresh fenugreek leaves but they are available only in winters. So you can make these puri with dried fenugreek leaves that is also known as kasuri methi. The mild bitterness and strong aroma will be delightful for your taste buds.
This methi ki puri has the goodness of fresh fenugreek leaves. Fenugreek leaves are good source of proteins, vitamins, potassium, magnesium and so many minerals. There are so many variations of puri but this methi ki puri has an aromatic taste. You can prepare methi puri with whole wheat flour or all purpose flour (maida).
Methi ki puri can be paired with any dry vegetable or curry. You can even take it along with pickles. I love this puri with aloo paneer ki sabji or aloo matar curry. You can serve for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. It is also a good option to pack for travelling.
