Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for Methi Na Gota.

Wash 150 grams of fenugreek leaves thoroughly, remove the stems, and chop finely.

Transfer the chopped fenugreek leaves to a bowl.

In a large bowl, add 2 cups of chickpea flour and sift it before use.

Add 3/4 glass of water gradually to the chickpea flour to make a medium-thick batter, ensuring no lumps remain.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 3 teaspoons of sugar, juice of 1 medium lemon, and 0.5 teaspoons of carom seeds to the batter.

Crush 0.5 teaspoons of whole black pepper and 1 teaspoon of whole coriander seeds, then mix into the batter along with the chopped fenugreek leaves and 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves.

Mix everything well, adjusting the consistency with more chickpea flour or water if necessary.

Prepare a kadhi by mixing 2 teaspoons of chickpea flour, 2 teaspoons of sugar, a pinch of citric acid, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1 glass of water in a bowl.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan, add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds, 10 fresh curry leaves, and 1 chopped green chili, then add the kadhi mixture and stir continuously until it boils.

If the kadhi is too thick, add more water and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes before turning off the heat.

Prepare to fry the fritters by adding 0.25 teaspoons of baking soda to the batter and mixing well, along with 1 teaspoon of warm oil.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat, ensuring it's warm but not too hot.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making medium-sized fritters, and fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally for even cooking.

Once fried, remove the fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve the hot Methi Na Gota with the prepared kadhi and fried green chilies.
