Methi Matvadi Palya / ಮೆಂತ್ಯ ಸೊಪ್ಪಿನ ಮಟ್ಟವಡಿ ಪಲ್ಯ
So here i am with yet another simple and delicious recipe called Matvadi palya. This recipe was definitely not there on my long list 😃... but then i thought of sharing on my blog as we rarely(only when we buy Methi leaves 😁) prepare at home and this recipe definitely adds something different on your menu 😊
Methi matvadi palya is a tasty stir fry and chana dal is the main ingredient to make this delicious palya. Traditionally Matvadi Palya is prepared using a lot of oil.The dal and methi leaves mixture is sauteed in oil well until its cooked completely.This tastes really good but considering use of so much oil is not healthy ,the dal can also be steam cooked to make this recipe.
This simple and delicious palya can be served for lunch and dinner.This has to be served hot with rice and ghee or else the texture of palya will be dry when cold and doesn't taste good.
