Methi Dal

Methi being a seasonal leafy vegetable it is best to eat it whenever available than later longing for it. Instead of making methi bhaaji wanted to try making methi dal. I was scared that the dal might get a bitter taste so I surfed online to see if there was specific proportion but did not find anything particular. So I randomly took 2 cups methi leaves and it tastes good. You can serve methi dal with rice or chapati.
