      NOTE-
      1-You can also serve these fried muthiya as a snack.
      2-If fresh fenugreek is not available then can use some chopped spinach or coriander and kasoori methi.
      3-You can also add 3/4 cup chopped tomato at step 10.
      4-For a low fat version you can steam the muthiyas for 15 minutes, instead of frying in oil.
