Methi Dal curry

We rarely get fresh methi leaves here. When I get those little leaves, I make this simple & tasty dal curry which taste good with rice & chapathis too. Methi leaves can be used as additional ingredientens in non-veg dishes & veg dishes as well, which brings additional flavour to the dish. One of my comfort dish & pravin just like this preparation very much. Like to serve this with some yam fry.
