METHI CORN CURRY

Hello everyone

This is my first post in this new year, though I finished my last year with a sweet note so thought why not to start a new beginning with some chatpata side dish. Methi corn curry is a very simple and quick recipe with it's distinct flavour. Bitterness of methi leaves is counter balanced by sweetness of corns and this is the real beauty of this dish. It neither needs too much time nor too much effort , so prepare and enjoy this lovely side dish with your family and friends. 
Recipe is given below, hope you will definitely give it a try and do tell me how it turned out for you.
