Vendaya Keerai Kuzhambu / Methi greens Curry

This was the first time I made this kuzhambu at home..Methi leaves are very good for diabetic and heart patients since it has good fibre and aids in control of sugar and cholesterol.Garlic is very effective in treating high cholesterol..This curry goes well with both chapathi and rice..It is a quick one to prepare too..Here comes the recipe..
