Methi Dal

#leafygreens - A great way to have your greens is by combining it with your favourite lentil. It turns nutritious and healthy. You also get the goodness of both iron and protein. In this recipe I have combined Tuvar Dal (pigeon pea lentil) with methi saag (fenugreek leaves) and prepared it in the South Indian style.
I gave a tempering of mustard seeds and curry leaves and finished it off with sambar powder. I added tamarind pulp to make it tangy. Water can be adjusted according to the consistency desired.
