Today am sharing with you an absolutely delicious recipe of Methi Murg ( chicken cooked with sundried flavorful fenugreek leaves). Its outright flavorful & lipsmacking good. This signature North Indian dish makes an excellent combo with paratha, pulka, roti or any Indian bread. Its one of my hub’s favorite recipes which..I used to prepare frequently. The earthy aroma of dried methi leaves blends very well with chicken and adds a lovely unique taste contrasted with the tantalizing spices in this dish.
