Methi Gota is a Gujarati snack. It is best to have it with ginger tea.

Ingredients:
Gram flour - 2 cups
Fenugreek (methi) leaves - 2 cups
Semolina (rava)- 3 tbsp.
Coriander seeds - 2 tbsp. (crushed coarsely)
Baking soda - ½ tsp.
Black pepper - 1 tsp.
Yogurt - ½ cup
Coriander leaves (a handful) - chopped
Ginger - chili paste - 1 tbsp.
Salt (to taste)
Sugar (to taste)
Hot oil - 2 tbsp.
Oil (for frying)

Method:
Mix all the ingredients in the gram flour except oil.
Add 2 tbsp. of hot oil and prepare a batter of thick consistency (if required add little water).
Keep aside for 10-15 minutes.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the batter in small rounds.
Fry until they are golden brown (fry in medium flame to ensure that the inside gets cooked thoroughly).
Drain on paper towels and serve with coriander chutney or tomato ketchup.

Sounds very interesting,surely must be delicious to have as well..

I tried making this once,but turned out bitter..so never felt like making it again...but I baked it instead of deep frying them...Might be deep frying will reduce the bitterness..

You have fried them a nice color.. I guess the whole trick is the color and texture of these fried goodies.. thanks for sharing.
