Methi Na Gota / Methi Pakoda is the most popular Gujarati tea time snack recipe. It is one of the most authentic Gujju snacks.

You will find this at every Gujarati home during winters and Gujarati weddings. These are crispy from the outside and soft from the inside. It is spicy, and tangy, It has all the flavors.

Methi Na Gota

I love Methi / Fenugreek leaves. My favorite methi dishes are Methi and Spinach paratha, Methi mutter, Methi corn, Methi muthiya and Methi Na Gota. Methi Na Gota is traditionally served with Thick Kadhi and tea. You will require very few ingredients to make this yummy gota. I like to use lots of methi leaves in gota. If you dont like methi leaves, you may decrease the quantity.
