Methi leaves+channa dal curry

Ingredients:

Methi leaves (Washed and separated from stem)-1/2 cup

Channa Dal-1 cup

Green Mirchi-4-5; make it a paste

Salt

Turmeric

2 tbsp. oil
1/2 tsp. mustard seeds
1 tsp. Bengal gram
1 tsp. Black gram

2-3 red chillies



Method:

• Soak the Channa dal in water until soft. Grind the channa dal in a mixie without adding much water. Ensure that the ground channa dal mixture is a little bit coarse and not a fine paste.
• Heat oil in a saucepan. Add mustard, allow to splutter, add bengal gram, black gram, red chillies, turmeric.
• Fry till light brown, then add green mirchi paste. Saute for sometime. Then add methi leaves (ensure that there are no stalks) and fry for sometime.
• Now add the coarse channa dal mixture in the kadai. Add salt and keep mixing.
• Initially it may look a bit like a paste but with heat the curry comes out in a powder form. Cook well on a low heat until it is slightly brown and it will look like powder.
• Put a little ghee to the rice and mix this curry. It tastes delicious.
