Chicken is always a go-to main course for quick, easy, and healthy meals. This chicken recipe with methi leaves is as healthy as they are delicious and versatile!
One of my colleague at work asked one day ‘I wonder how do you manage to cook Indian curries after office?’ I replied ‘Nothing is as easy to prepare like our curries.’
And I really agree with this  J
Yesterday night both my babies (hubby and the little one) not at all in mood of eating vegetarian ….I had some methi leaves lying down in the refrigerator for two days with the plans of methi paratha …. ..mixed and matched it with our common ingredients we usually have in our kitchen with Chicken  and the outcome was awesome!!
