Methkoot

Occasionally I love having "garam garam tup meth methkoot bhat". I often use methkoot in the methi raita which is my all-time favourite. Whenever I visit Pune, I make it a point to carry readymade methkoot with me back to Muscat. Recently, I realised that the methkoot jar was almost empty, so I called up aai to share her methkoot recipe which came in very handy.Surely this recipe will be helpful for those who relish methkoot.Thanks aai for the recipe
