Vendhaya keerai or fenugreek leaves (methi leaves) with moong dal in South Indian way. No bitterness will be felt in this kootu. I have been thinking kootu will be bitter and avoided making it. This is the first time I am making this south Indian style kootu, though I have made methi dal north Indian way couple of times. After making vendhaya keerai sambar, I found it won't be bitter. So I picked fresh leaves from balcony( homegrown).
