Methi Curry
Methi Curry is a thick gravy curry with fenugreek leaves that goes very well with any flatbread. You can also serve it with toast, in a sandwich, or with tacos. The next time you want to serve pav-bhaji, use this curry as the bhaji … it’s truly delicious.
This is another great vegetarian/vegan curry recipe that uses very few spices but tastes great.

Can I skip yogurt?
You can. Yogurt adds a tangy taste and a smooth consistency to the curry. If you like, you can try a little lime juice and 1 tsp besan (chick pea flour) instead.
