FENUGREEK AND GUAVA STIR FRY| METHI AMROOD KI SUBJI| MENTHYA SOPPU SEEBEHANNU PALYA|
A convenient way of eating fruits in winter. Otherwise we don’t feel like eating cold fruits in this chill weather. And this fruit is available in winter season only. So tried this recipe , followed Mrs. Nita Mehta’s book , making some changes to adapt it to our taste. It’s a good combination, we all liked it. Goes very well with roti, chapati, phulka, rotti, poori etc.
