Egg Methi (Fenugreek)

egg or anda methi
I love Methi leaves. Not a big fan of Spinach. Whenever fresh fenugreek leaves are available, I definitely pick it up. Goes well as Paratha, with potato, paneer. Let me share one more methi recipe with eggs.

Ingredients:
Boiled Eggs - 6
Fenugreek/Methi Leaves - a bunch
Onions - 2 medium
Tomatoes - 2 medium
Ginger - 1/2 inch piece
Garlic - 4 big cloves
Cilantro Leaves - few sprigs
Dry Red Chilies (Byadagi) - 8
Coriander/Dhania Seeds - 1 tbsp
Poppy Seeds/Khuskhus - 1 tbsp
Garam Masala or any other spice mix - 1/4 tsp
Salt
Oil

How to cook Indian Egg Methi:
  • Roughly chop washed fenugreek leaves (with tender stems). Roughly chop onions, tomatoes, ginger and garlic. Finely chop cilantro.
  • Remove the shells of the boiled eggs and prick them several times with a fork. 
  • Heat about 2 tbsp oil in a pan and add chopped onions. Sauté till onions turn soft and transparent. Add chopped ginger, garlic and tomatoes. Sauté till tomatoes turn soft. Turn off the heat and let it cool. Grind all these sautéed ingredients, red chilies, coriander seeds, poppy seeds to a fine paste with little water.
  • Heat 1 - 2 tbsp oil in a pan and add chopped fenugreek leaves. Sauté till leaves wilt and the raw smell goes off, about 5 minutes. Add the ground paste and bring it to a boil.
  • Add salt, pricked eggs, garam masala, chopped cilantro leaves and mix. Cook it covered for 15 - 20 minutes or till you get the desired consistency. 
Serve hot Anda Methi with rice or roti.

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....
