Fenugreek leaves and dal (lentils) curry

I love the taste of fenugreek leaves..also known as uluva cheera, methi leaves etc.. The bunch i got was very tender and fresh, so after rinsing them well. I just chopped up the leaves, stems and all.

Assemble the rest of the ingredients

Thur dal - yellow split lentils 1 cup( washed)

Onion - 1 medium (sliced lenghtwise)

Green chillies - 2 (slit lengthwise)

Tomato - 1 (sliced)

turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Red chilly powder - 1/2 tsp

Asafoetida - a pinch

Pressure cook for 4 whistles. Once the steam escapes, open and add enough salt.

Temper with ...

Jeera - 1 tsp

Mustard seeds - 1 tsp

Dried red chillies - 2 

Squirt the juice of one lemon for added zest.. 

You may also try adding one potato cut into very small cubes before pressure cooking. This makes for a thicker gravy and good with rotis.
