Corn Methi Sandwich

Niranjana Sankaranarayanan

Corn Methi Sandwich is one of the healthy breakfast that you can serve your family. Even if one doesn’t like fenugreek leaves, they will start eating if you give it in this way. I have not done anything to remove the bitterness of the fenugreek. I washed it well, and sauteed in the butter along with corn and garlic. Saute it well until it is done. The end product was not bitter at all. This recipe is a fusion one, it has cheese in it and all the flavours. Some alterations can be made according to our taste as well.
