January 25, 2016 by maria 6 Comments

Samudra methi  are fenugreek harvested in microgreens. This is easy Sukat Javala recipe made in Samudra Methi. Let me explain Sukat means dry, Javala is dried shrimp and Samudra Methi are fenugreek leaves which are grown on sandy tracts or near the sea. You will mainly find them near coastal areas like Mumbai. This Dried Shrimp recipe is simple to make and tastes yum. It goes well with bread and rice.

Generally dried shrimps are pick in color and vary in sizes from tiny, small to big ones. Dried shrimps goes well with veggies like bottlegourd, pumpkin, brinjal, broad beans Or fenugreek leaves (samudra methi).

Also to avoid confusion please don’t make these shrimps with Fenugreek leaves called as Methi leaves in India. I have made this with samudra methi which are small in size have a distinct smell, flavor and grown in coastal areas. These are easily available in India. They taste great when clubbed with potatoes or shrimps.
