Airfried Methi na Muthiya
Gujarati snack always has 2 flavors that is sweet and spicy. There are many versions of Muthiya and I love all versions. Methi leaves also called Fenugreek leaves are bitter in taste and all the ingredients in the Muthiya balances the bitterness with other flavors. It is spicy, crunchy, sweet and tangy. It turns out perfect in an Air Fryer. Checkout the quick and easy recipe below.
