Baby Methi Prawns Stir Fry

Baby methi is small newly sprouted fenugreek. It is tender but with a slightly bitter-ish taste. When teamed with fresh prawns, their bitter taste is reduced and in fact the methi gives a nice aroma to the dish. You can serve this baby methi prawn stir fry with hot chapatis or as a side with rice.
