Methi Chutney/Thogayal – Sidedish

I brought other day a bunch of methi leaves. Initially I wanted to make some gravy for Chapati. But kids asked for something else. So it was left in the fridge for sometime. When I was talking to my mum she recommended to make thogayal which is without coconut, ginger, garlic or onion. So I have decided to give it a try. Initially I was not sure about the taste and worried that it might turn out to be bitter. But to my surprise it tasted good.
Ingredients
Methi leaves – 2 cup (take out just leaves)
Urad dhal – 1 tablespoon
Bengal gram dhal – 1.5 tablespoon
Red chillies – 7-9 ( adjust to your spice level and chillies spice level)
Salt to taste
Tamarind – 1 marble size ( soak it in 2 tablespoon of hot water for 30 mins)
