Methi(fenugreek) Sabzi!!!

METHI SABZI!
This methi sabzi recipe is very famous among us konkanis. It is made by using methi(fenugreek) leaves and toor dal. The bitterness of methi leaves is to some extent balanced and lessened by adding toor dal. I learnt this recipe from my co-sister. It's a very simple,quick and tasty side dish the whole family will enjoy!

You will need:

2 bunches of methi(fenugreek) leaves
1/2 cup toor dal
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
Mustard and cumin (jeera) for tampering
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp red chilli powder
A small piece of jaggery
Salt to taste

Method:

Pinch out the methi(fenugreek) leaves from the bunch and wash it thoroughly and keep aside.
Then pressure cook the toor dal. It should be cooked in such a way that it doesn't get mashed up.Keep it aside.

Take a spoon of oil in pan and heat it. Now add mustard , cumin(jeera) turmeric powder and red chilli powder . Add the chooped onions and saute it till it becomes golden brown colour.To this add the cooked dal and mix well. Then add the piece of jaggery and stir it well till it melts away. Finally add the methi ( fenugreek leaves) and stir it well. Add salt to taste and close the lid of pan and allow it to cook on a slow flame. Keep stiring it once in a while. It would take about 10 minutes to cook well.The sabzi is cooked when the colour the methi leaves turn slightly dark.

The methi sabzi is ready to be savoured! .. It can be relished with chapati or bread!!
