I love this combination, looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteThis was the dish I make quite often as we get only spinach and methi fresh here.
ReplyDeleteI make it with green chillies instead of red, add couple of garlic pods, 1 tomato and corriander powder. I make it in pressure cooker as well and this is the only veg dish both my husband and son will eat without any complaints:))
delicious dal wonderfully done
ReplyDeleteYummy dal...love with rice..
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch for your comments friends!
ReplyDelete@Girija, I never cook greens in pressure cooker! They get cooked in minutes, so why pressure cooking them-nu, I always cook any green on stove top for maximum 5 minutes only! :)
Thanks for the comment Giri!
Loved this flavourful Methi Daal..
