Methi Dal Recipe | Dal with
Fenugreek Leaves with step by step pictures. Methi Leaves are very healthy and good for
digestion it has a slight bitter taste, but it is very well balanced when
cooked with Dal.
I have homegrown Methil eaves and hence I cook
methi dal very frequently. One more recipe which I often prepare with methi
leves are Methi thepla, it is a flatbread made with wheat flour and besan flour
combined with spices and methi leaves. I shall share the recipe sometime soon.
Coming back to the Methi Dal it tastes good with
white rice usually served with some ghee for a better taste.
