Menthe soppina saru - Methi ambat - Fenugreek leaves curry

Curry in a pan
Menthe soppina saru - Methi ambat is one of my favourite curries. Leafy vegetables and lentils are always healthier. So, I recommend to include methi leaves and toor dal in your diet whenever possible. The simplest yet delicious curry is a nice accompaniment to hot rice with some stir fry, upkari or sukke as side dish.

Mavina Midi Karja Uppinakayi - Tender mango pickle is generally made in two steps. First step is to prepare the salted tender mangoes  in brine and the second one is making  pickle out of it . For the salted mangoes you need to keep the tender mangoes in salt for at least 15 - 20 days. For a good quality pickle, choosing the proper mangoes is also important.
