Methi Lagan

My sister-in-law, Simi, is an excellent cook. She has a wide repertoire of recipes, including vegetarian, vegan & meat dishes. She also bakes & makes excellent desserts. When we visit Simi, we can be assured of delicious food, that she can rustle up in a very short time.

One of her specialties is, Methi Lagan. Simi often makes this appetizer for family functions and it is alway enjoyed by everyone. When a viewer of this website, recently requested this recipe, I knew I could give her an excellent recipe from Simi.
