Brinjal Methi Curry


Brinjal methi curry is my trial recipe,it was success. Taste is good to eat with rice or roti. This is very tasty, healthy and easy recipe. In this season plenty of Fenugreek (Methi) leaves are available in market so I use methi leaves frequently in our food. I try different recipes with methi leaves.This is one of my trial healthy recipes. Methi leaves are very healthy for diabetic and heart diseased people. In this recipe i use brinjal(eggplant) and Fenugreek (Methi) leaves. I am giving Some nutritional values about these two .....from Google

Brinjal (baingan or eggplant) is splendid in its texture, color and richness of essential minerals like potassium, calcium, and iron. It is the iron content that causes its color change when exposed to air, like an apple. It is also rich in sodium, proteins, Vitamin A and dietary fiber, which makes it very healthy.

Fenugreek leaves are enriched with minerals like potassium, calcium, and iron. Fresh leaves comprises 3 to 5% of protein.Fenugreek leaves are enriched with Vitamin C. The Vitamin K from fenugreek greens arecomparable to spinach.Definitely we should eat weekly twice or thrice.I hope you like it too...Njoy Eating.........
