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.
