Methi is always a good addition with peas and potatoes as it helps in digestion. You can add it to dough for roti as well.

I bring Methi frequently, but was bored with the recipes that I make. Was browsing the net for a methi rice and came across this one. Tried for dinner today and came out really yummy...as the frozen peas would give a sweet taste, I soaked and boiled the dry peas which was good too..thanks again for the simple recipe
