Urad dal papad – 2 & 1/2
Tomato – 2
Ginger, finely chopped – 1 tbsp
Red chilli powder – 1 & 1/2 tsp
Coriander seeds powder – 1 tsp
Garam masala powder – 3/4 tsp
Amchoor powder (optional) – 1/2 tsp
Turmeric – 1/8 tsp
Salt – as needed
Coriander leaves, finely chopped – 3 tbsp
To temper
Oil – 2 tbsp
Mustard – 1/2 tsp
Cinnamon – 1/2 inch piece
Asafoetida – 1/4 tsp
Method
- Frist soak methi seeds overnight or 3 hours minimum. Drain water, boil water and add the soaked, drained methi seeds to the water and boil for 3 minutes. Drain the water and you can optionally wash it to remove bitterness completely.
- Heat pan with oil, temper with cinnamon, mustard, asafoetida. Add finely chopped ginger and give it a fry.
- Add finely chopped tomatoes, turmeric, red chilli, garam masala and coriander powders, required salt. Fry for a minute or two until the tomatoes turn mushy and oozes out oil.
- Add the methi and fry for a minute.
- Add 2 cups water and boil for 3 minutes. Add torn urad papad to the boiling water.
- Simmer for 2 or 3 minutes. As the papad gets cooked, the water will be absorbed. Also as it cools down, water will be absorbed, so switch off accordingly.
Notes
- Boiling before, draining and washing is to remove the bitterness. There will be only really a very mild bitterness.
- I have tried without boiling, but it will be very bitter.
Garnish with choppped coriander leaves and some finely crushed toasted papad over the subji. Flavourful methi papad ki sabji is ready as accompaniment for rice or roti.

Very innovative recepie with methi seeds … will surely try this
A small doubt
Will it taste the same after 4 to 5 hrs? Will the pappad becomes soggy???
