Also, keep in mind that the Kasuri Methi (dried fenugreek leaves) that are used in this recipe are known for their myriad health benefits – they are extremely good for people with high cholesterol or diabetes; and are also beneficial to regularise bowel movement. Kasuri methi is also known to bring glow to the skin and shine to the hair.
