What is Methi Na Gota/Methi na bhajiya ?

Methi na Gota/Methi na bhajiya is a Gujarati deep fried snack of savory and spiced fritters. Basically these fritters are made with besan a.k.a gram flour, fenugreek leaves (methi), banana, spices and herbs. These tasty snack is usually served as a snack during tea time. One of my most favorite snacks plain Methi na gotas are traditionally served with thick Kadhi.

The most famous gotas are from Dakor hence it is also called Dakor Na gota. If you ever happen to visit Dakor on a religious trip (land of Lord Krishna), you will find the gota mix being sold in stores by different vendors on the street.

They are as good as the home made ones. The Methi na gota/Methi na Bhajiya recipe that I am sharing with you guys are the best recipe ever- you won’t find any better, lighter or yummiest gotas anywhere in Gujarat.
