LEHSUNI METHI DAL !!!!!


I got today's recipe from my dear friend SHUBHA BHANDARKAR. This recipe goes well with rice/rotis. Flavour of methi leaves & garlic is main attraction of this dish. Both are good for health also. Original recipe demands for jeera powder, hing & lemon juice. But i skipped these 3 & it still tasted good. Next time will definately add these 3 & try.





INGREDIENTS;-                                                          


Toor dal - 1 cup
onion, finely chopped - 1
methi leaves, chopped - 2 bunch
tomato, finely chopped - 1
garlic - 2 pods
long red chilles - 4
green chillies - 3
jeera - 1tsp
red chilly powder - 1tsp
turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
sa;t to taste
coriander leaves, chopped - 2 tblsp

4. Now finely chopped onion+chopped methi leaves+finely chopped tomato.
5. Mix it & saute it & cover it till tomato is mushy & methi leaves are cooked.
6. Add red chilli powder+turmeric powder+little jeera powder+hing powder. & saute for a while.
