Chole Methi / Chickpeas with Fenugreek

I love the aroma of cooked methi. But Fenugreek(methi) leaves were one of the greens that is hated by my daughter and hubby, they will only eat parthas when made.

When I made this, did not reveal what had gone into it. They enjoyed their meal without knowing that they are eating methi.  The methi does not taste bitter in this dish because I saute the  methi in little oil  till cooked.  Then this is  mixed in the chole.  Try this and everyone in your house too will happily have this dish.  This recipe is from a TV cookery show.

2 Cups Boiled Chickpeas
1/2 Cup onions - finely chopped
