Methi Na Gota (Dakor Na Gota)

Methi Na Gota/Dakor Na Gota or Methi Pakora (Deep Fried Fenugreek Leave and Chickpeas Flour Spicy Ball)

Methi Gota is most popular Gujarati snack. Methi Gota is also famous as Dakor na Gota. Methi Na gota is one of the most authentic and yummiest Gujju snack. In Gujarat there are so many yummy snacks or rather we called it “farsan”, Farsan means snack in Gujarati as it is called in the local language. You will find this on the menu of any snack store in Gujarat, at home during winters and monsoons and especially at Gujarati weddings. One of my most favorite snacks plain gotas or methi na gotas are traditionally served with thick Kadhi. The most famous gotas are from Dakor hence it is also called Dakor Na gota. If you ever happen to visit Dakor on a religious trip (land of Lord Krishna), you will find the gota mix being sold in stores by different vendors on the street. They are as good as the home made ones. The gota recipe that I am sharing with you guys are the best recipe ever- you won’t find any better, lighter or yummiest gotas anywhere in Gujarat.

Whether you want to entertain guests or just enjoy the pleasant rainy evening or cold wintery days, crispy and spicy Methi Pakora or Methi Na gota can never go out of fashion. In this simple preparation you need only fresh methi leaves, besan and some spices.

Methi Gota is most popular Gujarati snack. Methi Gota is also famous as Dakor na Gota. Methi Gota loves to eat, during rainy seasons with masala tea. Traditionally serve with thick Kadhi and fried salted green chili. My all time favorite snack outside crispy and inside spongy.

Summer has arrived, and we're savoring my cool smo Summer has arrived, and we're savoring my cool smoothies made with my favorite fruit combinations. I made smoothies with SunGold Kiwi-Mango, SunGold Kiwi-Strawberry, and SunGold Kiwi-Mixed Berry for myself and the kids. In our summer smoothie, we love the high vitamin C content of sweet & refreshing SunGold kiwi. These smoothies are simple to make and quite tasty. If you've noticed, one of my favorite fruits in smoothies is kiwi. I discovered these SunGold @zesprikiwifruit @shopritestores and purchased two boxes (they come in a 1 pound pack) along with my grocery shopping from our local ShopRite. I purchased everything I'll need to create smoothies.

Transport yourself to the tropics with tangy sweet Transport yourself to the tropics with tangy sweet Passion Fruit Kulfi, made with fresh passion fruit pulp, hint of cardamom and saffron. Perfect way to enjoy tropical fruit in summer. If you are fan of mango, pineapple, lemon kind of tropical fruits, then you will love this passion fruit flavor in this Indian style kulfi dessert. My kids are crazy for this Kulfi. Sweet tangy flavor of passion fruit works well in fruit desserts, drinks and even some savory dishes. Earlier, I made Passion Fruit Panna Cotta and Pineapple Passion Fruit Mojito, but kulfi will always in top of the list.
