Methi Rava Chips Recipe | Methi Ka Nasta | Crispy Methi Shankarpali with step by step photo and video recipe. chips or simple deep-fried nasta are a popular all-time favourite snack across india. these are typically made with plain flour or wheat flour which can be a tasty snack but can have digestion complications. to mitigate this, there are many healthy alternatives to these snacks and Methi Rava Chips or Crispy Methi Shankarpali can be an interesting snack.
well, you may think this is some innovative snack, but trust me it is one of the popular snacks in gujurati cuisine. perhaps, it is made in round or triangle shapes, but the set of ingredients and the way it is prepared is the same. i have shaped it like shankarpali to name it Methi Shankarpali, but it is either termed as chips or triangles in gujurat. moreover, apart from the fenugreek leaves, the dough is prepared using a combination of rava and maida flour. this makes it crispy and crunchy in texture and shape. in addition, the fenugreek leaves add a hint of bitterness to the snack, making it one of the unique deep-fried snacks. you will also notice that the bitterness from fenugreek will eventually turn to sweetness once the snack is munched. therefore, i would recommend you to try this snack once and enjoy it with your friends and family.
furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the Methi Shankarpali recipe. firstly, i am a huge fan of fenugreek and its bitter taste. but some may not like to have a strong bitter taste to the snack. in that case, you may reduce the quantity of the methi leaves to make them less bitter in taste. secondly, the deep frying has to be done on a low to medium flame to make it crispy and crunchy. it also helps to cook it evenly across all sides of the snack. lastly, the shelf life of this snack improves if you store it in an airtight container. in addition, try to store it in a dry and moisture-free area for longer shelf life.
