I love dry dal with greens. Methi dal is nice side dish even with rice and some rasam on the side.
Such a delicious and healthy curry with methi and toor dal. I’ve never tried this combo – will have to try it out when I get some fresh methi leaves.
I love dal with any greens…This year I had grown my own methi and prepared this dal a couple of times…Your dal looks soothingly delicious…Yum 😋
That’s one healthy and delicious recipe. I usually use toor dal to make dals and sambhar. Have never thought of using dry toor dal. Love the addition of methi. Would love to try this dish with roti.
Adding of methi to toor dal will make it healthy and would even add to the taste. Yummy
