Methi na gota is a traditional snack originating from Gujarat. These savory fried balls are usually made with a combination of gram flour, fenugreek, hot peppers, coriander, carom seeds (ajwain), lime juice, asafoetida, baking soda, salt, pepper, sugar, and oil.

Once prepared, the batter is dropped into hot oil, piece by piece, until it’s golden brown on all sides. Methi na gota is typically served piping hot with fried hot peppers and chutneys on the side. This snack is especially popular during winter and the monsoon season.
