I cooked this the other night (minus the coconut and I pureed the dal and tomatoes as well) and it was fabulous with gram flour dumplings. Thank you for helping me use the frozen methi I had picked up awhile ago! My husband is a big fan of spinach and once it is tempered by other flavors and loses the bitter edge, methi is very similar.

Will try your kasoori methi eggs next. I have lots of that too and wasn’t sure what to do with it.

By the way I love your recipes, they always come out well (and I am an amateur at Indian cooking.) Thank you again.

Looks and sounds absolutely delicious- would love methi leaves ground to a paste, and this is so nutritious as well.

Wonderful recipe, Shilpa. Such a lovely, nutricious saru !!

I tried this yesterday but with a few modifications. I used moon dal as it cooks quicker in Microwave. Also I fried the onions and tomatoes, then followed the rest of the recipe.

Mine looked more green though ( I used pea sprouts instead of methi – it tastes almost like the small methi that we get in Bombay). I get these in the Chinese stores here.

Shall send you a picture next time.

This one is a definitely a keeper…Thanks again !!!

Hi Shilpa,

I love your website and in fact visit it daily. Like the way you build the story before you actually publish the recipe.:-)

One piece of advice though:
If you could improve upon your presentation of the dishes, that will be just perfect. ie make it more appetizing for eg: contrast of the dishes with the serving container ,just decorate the dishes with cilantro etc.Just to highlight the prepared dish a little more because I am sure that it tastes great

Keep up the good work!
