Background
Fenugreek leaves are very healthy, with benefits ranging from lowering blood cholesterol and aiding digestion to reducing risk of heart diseases. I make sure to include these healthy leaves at least once a week in my diet. This recipe has a very delicate taste to it and goes well with roti or rice.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Toor dal (Pigeon peas)
- 2 Bunches fenugreek leaves (washed and thinly cut)
- 2 Tomatoes (Finely chopped)
- ½ Onion (Finely chopped)
- 1 Garlic (Crushed)
- ½ tsp Turmeric
- Salt to taste
- ½ tsp Mustard seeds
- Pinch of asafoetida
- 1 Dry red chilli
- A sprig of curry leaves
- 1 tsp Oil
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Pressure cook toor dal with 2 cups water and smash it well.
- In a deep bottomed vessel, heat oil and add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
- Add dry red chilli, garlic, asafoetida and curry leaves to it.
- Add the onion and fry until they are transparent.
- To it, add the chopped fenugreek leaves and turmeric and fry them until cooked.
- Add the tomatoes to the cooked leaves and fry them until they soft and tender.
- Add the cooked dal with salt and some water until you get a watery consistency instead of thick consistency.
