Dal with methi makes a tasty side dish with any meal. It tastes good with hot steamed rice, jeera rice, pulav or even with chapati or phulka.
I love making a variety of dals, it is not only filling but packed with vital nutrients essential for carrying on day to day activities. It serves dual purpose, tastes good with both rice and chapati. Moreover, my family members have a special liking for dal, thus I find many good reasons to play round it.
Dal with methi or fenugreek leaves tastes good, thus I make three kinds of dal with it. One is the south indian dal (muddipalya) we make regularly, it is a traditional recipe loved by all elders. Let’s get to the recent addition that I have made in my cooking.
