Fenugreek leaves dal with tomato

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.
