ABOUT Methi Murg | Fresh Fenugreek Leaves Chicken | मेथी मुर्ग RECIPE

I would call fenugreek as the state vegetable of Maharashtra. I think this is one leafy vegetable which is cooked in one out of every three kitchen in Maharashtra . Not only it is available in plenty but also full of fragrance when cooked. Cooking Vegetables with meat is trendy these days. Well in the state of Odisha where I was born, you can even find fish and vegetable cooked together, like chencheda mahura etc. Chicken being my favorite meat, I decided to prepare chicken with methi leaves this time. I can never get bored of chicken. Did you know I was even popular in my class during my graduation as ChickenKali . I still need to figure out who and how I got that name.
