A chutney made with Tender Tamarind Leaves Pachadi Recipe is simply delicious. Also called Chintha Chiguru Tokkuthis spicy and sour chutney tastes great with just about anything. Try it with not just idli, dosa but with bhakri and chapati even steamed rice. Try it!
In place of methi try using palak, rajgira, chavli, or drumstick leaves. I will not say shepu or dill as I do not like it myself. So if you try it out and let me know.
Fresh Fenugeek Leaves and Dal
I remembered this daal Amma served regularly, she used one vegetable that grows wild in rains in Kannada it is called Harvi Playa. There were lots growing in my Aunts place and she sent it across. I still remember the aroma of the dal and the taste it was yum. It’s a pity that these local varieties of vegetables are shunned by us now. They are so much more healthy and cheaper.
The other dal that I have made with leafy vegetables are Muddi Palaya( Golaa Bhaji), Palak Moong Dal, Simple Chawali chi Pale Bhaji or Stir fry with Cowpea Leaves.
The main ingredients in methi dal are toor dal, methi, garlic, ghee. In place of toor dal, you can use moong or even masoor dal.

Methi dal is my favourite in winters. Looks delicious ????

I’m so glad you’ve shared so many variations of dals with us. I’ve never thought of adding fresh methi to dal…now I will.
Sharmila Kingsly says
This is one of my fav dal which i make very often.. Just yummy.
Gayathri Kumar says
This makes a great way of giving kids greens. And yeah we are forgetting the local fresh produce and are leaning towards imported veggies nowadays which needs to be avoided..
Sowmya says
That is an awesome way to kids to eat some greens. Love the methi combo with dal. Yumm
Kalyani says
I love all homemade dals ! and this one with methi is specially yum 🙂 the lemon especially is enticing me to make this for dinner today !
Srividhya Gopalakrishnan says
Methi dal is my favorite. Never added rasam powder though. That’s one interesting ingredient here. Will try it out.
Vaishali says
Medley of flavors ! Rasam powder , Methi , I am
Sure this daal would taste awesome . Daals definitely are a must in our everyday meal and this one is a good one .
Ritu Tangri says
Though this dal with methi leaves must be quite flavorful,ye I’m a bit curious on that archana. When we add fresh methi leaves and afterwards no cooking, doesn’t it taste bitter?
ArchanaPotdar says
no ritu.Not at all.
Sandhya says
Love Methi dal. I make it similarly but had not added rasam masala to it. Will try it next time, Archana.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks Sandhya.
Jagruti says
Although we love methi and almost every week I make sabji, I have not used in a daal. I was going to ask you about the taste, but now I see your reply in Ritu’s comment 🙂
ArchanaPotdar says
We love the taste Jagruti. Try it. Thanks
